Hi Everyone -

Please join us via webinar for our next free Department of the Interior Library Park Ranger Speaker Series lecture, entitled "The Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument" on Tuesday, June 15th from 1:00 - 2:00 pm ET.

Shortly after midnight on June 12, 1963, civil rights activist Medgar Evers was assassinated in the carport of the home that he shared with his wife Myrlie Evers and their three young children in Jackson, MS. His death, the first murder of a nationally significant leader of the Civil Rights Movement, heightened public awareness of civil rights issues and became a catalyst for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The couple hosted civil rights workers, sheltered African Americans threatened by white supremacists, endured death threats that arrived by telephone and mail, and lived with constant danger even as they raised their children. Please join Park Ranger Keena Graham as she relates the story of Medgar and Myrlie Evers, their role in the Civil Rights Movement, and how the home they shared (designated a National Monument in 2019) links their work to a tangible place.

All that are interested are invited.  Please go to the following link to request webinar registration information:
