Medgar Evers: Is It Ever Too Late To Do The Right Thing?
February 2, 2021 @ 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
$10.00
Medgar Evers Is My Hero.
Medgar Evers, a brave Civil Rights leader, was assassinated in the driveway of his home, murdered by a Ku Klax Klan leader bent on blood.
What offense had Medgar Evers committed? He was trying to register African Americans to vote in Mississippi in 1963. 
His murderer was quickly identified – but lived as a free man for thirty years until an unstoppable wife, a dogged newspaperman, and a brilliant prosecutor managed to get the case reopened. On the fortieth anniversary of the murder, I hosted the official National Day Of Remembrance and had the chance to meet and befriend his widow, his family, and many of his friends. I will bring their tremendously moving personal stories to life.

This multimedia presentation is very personal to me. You will be amazed – it is jam-packed with inside information on the thrilling trial, amazing anecdotes, and a heavy dose of drama. An emotional turning point in American law and history will come alive as you witness whether it is ever too late to do the right thing.
