Ghosts of Mississippi: A True Civil Rights Story

The Murder of Medgar Evers

Medgar Evers was an African-American civil rights activist in Mississippi, tragically murdered on June 12, 1963. It was believed that Byron De La Beckwith, a white supremacist, was responsible for his death. Despite two trials in the 1960s ending in hung juries, the fight for justice continued.

The Pursuit of Justice

In 1989, Myrlie Evers, the widow of Medgar Evers, uncovered evidence of jury tampering in the previous trials. With the help of Bobby DeLaughter, an assistant District Attorney, a new investigation began. Despite many setbacks, including missing evidence and deceased witnesses, a breakthrough came with the discovery of a key informant, Delmar Dennis.

As the case gained momentum, threats from white supremacist groups intensified. DeLaughter’s dedication to seeking justice never wavered, and with Myrlie’s support, they pressed forward. With new evidence and testimonies, a re-trial was initiated.

Justice Served

In 1994, Byron De La Beckwith was finally found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The perseverance and determination of those involved in the case paid off, bringing closure and justice for Medgar Evers. Myrlie Evers, amidst tears of joy, proclaimed victory in the battle for justice.
