Title
Archive of civil rights icon Myrlie Evers-Williams to go on display
Abstract
The collection is among the largest received by Pomona College in recent years. Its donor is Myrlie Evers-Williams, the widow of NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers, who was assassinated by a white supremacist outside their Mississippi home in 1963. His death inflamed the then-nascent civil rights movement.
