"You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea." – #MedgarEvers #BlackHistory

“The Park Service just scrubbed ‘racist’ from the description of Byron De La Beckwith—the Klansman who murdered Medgar Evers. Trump’s 2025 executive order is now literally whitewashing racism in U.S. history. #WhitewashingHistory #MedgarEvers #BlackHistoryMonth mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

Als Bürgerrechtler kämpfte Medgar Evers für Gleichheit im Süden der USA. Seine Ermordung im Jahr 1963 gab der Bewegung neuen Auftrieb. Seine Stimme für Gerechtigkeit ist unvergessen. #MedgarEvers #Bürgerrechte

June 12, 1963 - In the driveway outside his home in Jackson, Mississippi, civil rights leader Medgar Evers, a World War II veteran whose service included France after the Normandy invasion, was shot to death by white supremacist Byron De la Beckwith. De la Beckwith was not convicted until 1994 after an extensive investigation by Jackson, Mississippi’s Clarion-Ledger newspaper. He was tried and acquitted twice by all-white juries, members of which had been influenced by the Ku Klux Klan. Following one of the trials, then-Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett stood by Beckwith's side and shook his hand.

If anyone is looking for a good biography, I’ve really been enjoying “Medgar and Myrlie: Medgar Evers and the Love Story That Awakened America” by Joy-Ann Reid.

It has a conversational writing style that works well with the stories about Medgar and Myrlie’s life before and during the civil rights era in the U.S. There’s so much about them I never learned in school.

Sixty years ago today. We must remember his legacy and keep fighting for Black people and accountability and a society that is no longer an anti-Black person society. #MedgarEvers #BlackMastodon #Mastodon

It often seems that when people think of #CivilRights #coldcases they think of #RacistMurders of #BlackPeople trying to #vote or doing other civil rights #activism. The fact is that the vast majority of documented cases are of Black people being killed just for existing. Many more #MichaelBrowns than #MedgarEvers. #history
