This biography Medgar Evers draws on personal interviews from Myrlie Evers-Williams (Evers's widow), his two remaining siblings, friends, schoolmates, and fellow activists to elucidate Evers as an individual, leader, husband, brother, and father. Extensive archival work provides a detailed account of Evers's NAACP work and a clearer understanding of the racist environment that ultimately led to his murder.
