Medgar Evers: Is It Ever Too Late To Do The Right Thing?

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 Medgar Evers’ 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 by the story – it is jam-packed with inside information on the thrilling trial, amazing anecdotes, and a heavy dose of drama.  The trial of the murderer of Medgar Evers proved to be an important and 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.
