Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-30 00:00:00 Sarah Robinson My husband and I read separate copies together. This was such an interestingly crafted autobiography. Each chapter begins with exposition by Manning Marable but is then further corroborated by essays, letters, speeches, and reports written by or about Medgar Evers.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-10 00:00:00 Laura Lalor What an amazing man: intelligent, selfless, tireless, passionate, committed, courageous. "You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea." "Freedom has never been free... I love my children and I love my wife with all my heart. And I would die, die gladly, if that would make a better life for them." "Theoretically, we are the greatest exponents of democracy of any nation in the world, but this on paper, and not in the hearts of men who control the policies of this great country." "Only in Nazi Germany has such inhuman cruelty been equaled." "Sure, you're scared at first, but then you get mad. You think 'When it comes, I'm ready.' You know that if you stay scared, you can't do anything."
