Medgar Evers (1925-1963) Medgar Evers was the NAACP's first field secretary in Mississippi, organizing voter registration drives and investigating racial violence in one of the most dangerous states in America. He was assassinated in his own driveway in Jackson, Mississippi, just hours after President Kennedy's civil rights address. His killer walked free for 30 years before justice finally came.
