Reviews
"An important and readable study of this seminal leader and the history of the civil rights movement." --Publishers Weekly

"A well-written and informative installment in a prolific civil rights scholarship. . . . an accessible volume for a wide range of historians." --Hayden McDaniel, H-Net
"In this well-grounded inquiry into Mississippi's heart of darkness, Williams offers an essential reading of the short life and tragic times of Medgar Evers, the modest, heroic freedom fighter who, perhaps more than any other, helped transform the nation's most fiercely racist state." --Neil McMillen
