#RIPMedgarEvers #mondaymotivation Rights activist #MedgarEvers was assassinated #OnThisDay in 1963 outside his Mississippi home by white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith. But, as Medgar once said, "You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea." All-white juries failed to reach a verdict in his first two trials 1964. It 30 years from those trials to a new trial in 1994 for Beckwith to be convicted and Medgar to get justice. BlackHistoryEveryday
