Answer 1

On June 12, 1963, Evers returned home from an integration meeting with NAACP lawyers and Evers was shot in the back. He died at the local hospital 50 minutes later.

The 1996 film Ghosts of Mississippi tells the story of the 1994 trial of his murderer. Other movies have been made about him as well; he is considered one of the significant casualties of the civil rights movement.

Barbara Charline Jordan (February 21, 1936 – January 17, 1996) was an American politican from Texas. She served as a Congresswoman in the United States House of Representatives from 1973 to 1979. .

Reelected to a full term in the Texas Senate in 1968, she served until 1972. She was the first African-American female to serve as president pro tem of the state senate and served for one day as acting governor of Texas in 1972.In 1972, she was elected to the United States House of Representatives, becoming the first black woman from a Southern state to serve in the House. She received extensive support from former President Lyndon Johnson, who helped her secure a position on the House Judiciary Committee. Toward the end of her life, she suffered from multiple sclerosis.

Both Barbara Jordan and Medgar Evers were African American.

If you're interested in Barbara Jordan and Medgar Evers, you might want to see the movie "Mississippi Burning" which shows two FBI agents investigating the murder of civil rights workers--fiction based on an actual case. Very powerful movie that makes one want to stand for the underdog.
