Publisher's Summary:
This biography of a seminal civil rights leader draws on personal interviews from Myrlie Evers-Williams (Evers's widow), his two remaining siblings, friends, grade-school-to-college schoolmates, and fellow activists to elucidate Evers as an individual, leader, husband, brother, and father. Extensive archival work in the Evers Papers, the NAACP Papers, oral history collections, FBI files, Citizen Council collections, and the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission Papers, to list a few, provides a detailed account of Evers's NAACP work and a clearer understanding of the racist environment that ultimately led to his murder.
The book is published by The University of Arkansas Press.
Critic Reviews:
"The first substantial scholarly biography of Medgar Evers.... Will be the standard reference for some time to come." (Journal of Southern History)
"Williams's work tops what have been too few head-on examinations of the substance and significance of this martyr's sacrifice...." (Library Journal)
"An important and readable study of this seminal leader and the history of the civil rights movement." (Publishers Weekly)
