3:43Now PlayingFifty years ago today June 12th, 1963 37yearold civil rights organizer Medgar Evers was assassinated in the driveway outside his home in Jackson, Mississippi. In the early 1960s Evers served as the first NAACP Field Secretary for Mississippi, where he worked to end segregation, fought for voter rights, struggled to increase black voter registration, led business boycotts, and brought attention to murders and lynchings. We hear from Edgers' widow, Myrlie EversWilliams, on how she wants her husband to be remembered "a man for all time, one who was totally dedicated to freedom for everyone and was willing to pay a price."
