June 12, 1963 - In the driveway outside his home in Jackson, Mississippi, civil rights leader Medgar Evers, a World War II veteran whose service included France after the Normandy invasion, was shot to death by white supremacist Byron De la Beckwith. De la Beckwith was not convicted until 1994 after an extensive investigation by Jackson, Mississippi’s Clarion-Ledger newspaper.

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
