evers' work in mississippi a 14-year-old boy was kidnapped off the porch of a store in money, mississippi. he was taken in retaliation for him whistling or flirting or maybe just speaking to a woman who was white. the kid, emmett till, was black, 14 years old. he was tortured, and his body was dumped into the river. one local law enforcement hesitated to prosecute anybody for the murder. it was medgar evers who took it upon himself to investigate that crime personally. the woman whom medgar evers married said her husband dressed in disguise when he was doing that investigation. he dressed as a field hand on his trips to collect evidence for that crime. he was known to drive 100 miles an hour to get safely out of town and to try to shake anybody who was following him. that's what it took to be the field secretary for the ncaa in -- naacp in mississippi in 1955. he worked for voting rights in mississippi before there was a voting rights act. when registering to vote or trying to vote meant risking your life and it particularly meant risking your life if you were trying to persuade others th

i saw an exhibit in jackson, mississippi, about medgar, but it included the rifle that killed him.looked upon this weapon of destruction. and i looked at the trigger, and i could just see medgar's body lying there. but something miraculous happened. i saw something else. and that was in my imagination i saw the fire that would come from that bullet and to me interestingly enough, it said peace. and it said progress. so from being hurt, being angry, being vindictive of having multiple personalities around all of the work so hard to see the justice prevailed in the killing of medgar, to see he was not forgotten. and that's been so important to me. we've come a long way in that. and 50 years years later, i might be a little tired, might be a little weary, but i can't stop. because there's too much at stake. >> well, i can say this 50 years later. medgar evers certainly chose the right woman to marry and bear his children. all of us see that. and 50 years later, you've made sure this world did not forget medgar evers. >> thank you. >> mrs. myrlie evers-williams, thank you for your time
