Thank you, Louise, for bringing this part of my life history back to me. There’s a lot I’ve forgotten or never knew under the headlines. A fine, brave man he was.
Yes, he was. He was a leader who hasn't received enough notice, nor has his wife, Myrlie Evers-Williams. At 90, she is still at the forefront of those working toward bringing more equity and justice in American society.

There is an excellent interview with her at:

Another important video from NBC:

Myrlie Evers-Williams is a strong, eloquent, black woman of great dignity and determination. We have a lot to learn from her and from Medgar.
Thanks, Louise. Will check out these links.
