Evers, a slain pioneer, was a key figure in the fight for freedom in the most hostile and dangerous environment in America. Myrlie, Evers's wife, was a key partner in their activism, working alongside him to fight against public accommodations, school segregation, lynching, violence, and despair within their state's "black belt." Despite threats, they continued their fight, organizing picket lines and boycotts. On June 12, 1963, Evers was assassinated by the Klan. Myrlie continued her civil rights legacy, writing a book about Medgar's fight and becoming a NAACP leader. Reid's groundbreaking account explores the on-the-ground work of winning basic rights for Black Americans
