Today, on Emmett Till's 82nd birthday, we come together to celebrate a life that has left an indelible mark on our collective history.

[Medgar&MyrlieEversInstitute @MMEI63]

Today, we pledge to carry on the torch of equality, knowing that the road may be long, but it is one we must walk together. As Medgar Evers once said “When you hate, the only person that suffers is you because most of the people you hate don't know it and the rest don't care.”

60 years ago today, Medgar Evers was assassinated in the driveway of his family home in Jackson, Mississippi. Today, we remember the sacrifice Medgar made in his tireless pursuit of justice.

[Medgar&MyrlieEversInstitute @MMEI63]

We reflect on the enduring legacy he left behind and the profound impact he had on the Civil Rights Movement. Today, we honor him. We honor Myrlie Evers and her steadfast determination in continuing the fight for equality in his memory.

Once again, we are so proud of this next generation of leaders. #GenZ #MedgarandMyrlieEvers #MMEIGenZSummit

The Mississippi Delta is known for its lush marshes, greenery, and significance to the Civil Rights Movement, Black history and culture in Mississippi. Our Gen-Z Summit students took a road trip through the Delta.

[Medgar&MyrlieEversInstitute @MMEI63]

The students ended their trip through the Delta with a stop at Bryant’s Grocery where Emmett Till whistled. @EmmettTill Lance Wheeler led a conversation with the students about the importance of working to preserve our disappearing history.
