Medgar Wiley Evers (July 2nd 1925, the Mississippi - June 12th 1963, id.) was an American Black, defender of the human rights and member of NAACP (national association for the defense of the coloured persons). Its fight against discriminations whose the Blacks were victims, and in particular its role in the investigation into the murder of Emmett Till, was worth to him to be assassinated by a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
