"Everlasting: Life and Legacy of Medgar Evers" honors the life, work and impact of one of Mississippi's most courageous voices, who was assassinated outside his home in 1963. Originally from Decatur, Mississippi, Medgar Evers played a pivotal role in the civil rights movement as the state’s first field secretary for the NAACP. He organized voter registration drives, investigated acts of racial violence, and advocated for the desegregation of public institutions.
