Story4.5 out of 5 stars 44
This biography of a seminal civil rights leader draws on personal interviews from Myrlie Evers-Williams (Evers's widow), his two remaining siblings, friends, grade-school-to-college schoolmates, and fellow activists to elucidate Evers as an individual, leader, husband, brother, and father. Extensive archival work in the Evers Papers, the NAACP Papers, oral history collections, FBI files, Citizen Council collections, and the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission Papers, to list a few, provides a detailed account of Evers's NAACP work and more.

I listened to this narrator do the story of Emmet Till and got an email recommending this one too. I’m so glad I didn’t just bin the email like I usually do. This is another outstanding performance telling an important story that made me think of how far things have come. Great book!
