On June 12th, 1963, civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot to death by a lone assassin, Byron De La Beckwith.

Evers became active in the civil rights movement in the 1950s. In 1963, he was awarded the NAACP Springarn Medal. On June 12th, 1963, Evers was murdered at his home in Jackson, Mississippi by Byron De La Beckwith. De La Beckwith was a member of the White Citizens Council in Jackson.

Although all-white juries failed to reach verdicts in Beckwith's first two trials, he was convicted of the murder in 1994 based on new evidence.
