Remembering Medgar Evers - Minrose Gwin - Bog

As the first NAACP field secretary for Mississippi, Medgar Wiley Evers put his life on the line to investigate racial crimes and to organise boycotts and voter registration drives. In this compelling study of collective memory and artistic production, Minrose Gwin engages the powerful body of work that has emerged in response to Evers's life and death - fiction, poetry, memoir, drama, and songs.
