Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument
Open Tuesday to Saturday, 9 am to 4 pm.
Evers was the first field secretary for the NAACP in Jackson at the time of his death, June 12, 1963. The small house and site of his assassination, and the neighborhood of similar houses that surround it, make palpable the very simple longings for freedom and opportunity that drove the Civil Rights Movement. As a museum and a house in a historic district, the renovated structure informs those who visit of the many sacrifices that took place in Jackson and in Mississippi and presents a modern link in the succession of Mississippi landmarks that communicate the history of the state. The home is now a National Park Service site.
