July 2nd is Medgar Evers Day!!! "Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was born on July 2, 1925, in Decatur, Mississippi. In 1954, he became the first state field secretary of the NAACP in Mississippi. As such, he organized voter-registration efforts, demonstrations, and economic boycotts of companies that practiced discrimination. He also worked to investigate crimes perpetrated against blacks. On June 12, 1963, Evers was assassinated outside of his home in Jackson, Mississippi."
The death of Mr. Evers is still one the most despicable things that has happened with government set-ups and shady shit with the USA government. It is too bad that even with his death there is still ignorance and stupidity! Hopefully more people can continue to get more education as to what the REAL truth is and actually live it! Thank you Mr. Evers for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Medgar Evers.
