The Autobiography Of Medgar Evers: A Hero's Life and Legacy Revealed Through His Writings, Letters, and Speeches

Don’t let the title fool you. While the book is entitled, The Autobiography of Medgar Evers, it didn’t highlight much of his early life. What was his childhood like? What was his experience serving in the U.S. Army? I learned more about his life reading the book “Medgar and Myrlie” written by Joy-Ann Reid. If you’re interested in learning more about Medgar Evers, I highly recommend reading this one instead. Most of the book included correspondence between Medgar Evers as a NAACP field secretary and NAACP. I didn’t find those letters interesting. His speeches were compelling.
