Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument

10/14/2017 Medgar and Myrlie Evers House     This was the home of the civil rights activists from 1956 to 1963, when Medgar was killed by a sniper in the carport. [2022 update: this site was authorized as Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home NM in March 2019. Since at the time of authorization, and after land acquisition in December 2020, there were no substantial changes from what we had visited as an NHL, we decided to take credit for the NM based on this visit.]
