For the first time, the life of civil rights leader Medgar Evers as told through his speeches, letters and papers On the evening of June 12 1963 - the day that President John F Kennedy gave his most impassioned speech about the need for interracial tolerance - Medgar Evers, the first field secretary for the NAACP (the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples) was shot and killed by an assassin's bullet in the driveway of his Mississippi home. The still-smoking gun - bearing the fingerprints of staunch white supremacist, Byron De La Beckwith - was recovered moments later in some nearby bushes. Still, Beckwith remained free for over thirty years until Evers's widow, Myrlie, finally forced the Mississippi courts to bring him to justice.
