Sixty years ago today. We must remember his legacy and keep fighting for Black people and accountability and a society that is no longer an anti-Black person society. #MedgarEvers #BlackMastodon #Mastodon

Like a cross between #medgarevers & “Mr. Smith goes to Washington”…
Maybe add a little #Obama for spice!

It often seems that when people think of #CivilRights #coldcases they think of #RacistMurders of #BlackPeople trying to #vote or doing other civil rights #activism. The fact is that the vast majority of documented cases are of Black people being killed just for existing. Many more #MichaelBrowns than #MedgarEvers. #history
