On Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019,  Michelle Childres and I visited the home of civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers, who was assassinated on June 12, 1963. He was only 37. The house, which now serves as a museum, still has the bullet holes from the night Evers was killed. Our tour was led by Curator Minnie White Watson, who gave a stirring presentation about the life of Evers. She delivered a riveting narrative that held everyone's attention.
