Medgar Evers and Myrlie Beasley fell in love at first sight, their bond sparking on a Mississippi college campus in the early 1950s. He was a World War II veteran with a fire to challenge the deep-seated racism of his home state; she was a gifted musician with dreams of her own. Together, they built a life and a family, but their love story was far from ordinary, woven into the dangerous fabric of the civil rights movement in the heart of Jim Crow Mississippi.
As Medgar took on the role of field secretary for the NAACP, he and Myrlie faced relentless threats, from firebombs to chilling phone calls, as they fought for Black voting rights and equality in a place where such defiance could cost everything. Myrlie stood by his side, a partner in both love and activism, balancing fear for their safety with unwavering commitment to their cause. Their home became a hub for strategy and hope, even as the shadow of violence loomed ever closer.
Joy-Ann Reid’s Medgar and Myrlie brings this powerful story to life, narrated with the passion of someone who’s sat with Myrlie herself, capturing the couple’s courage and the love that fueled their fight. This audiobook doesn’t just recount history; it pulls you into the heart of a couple who risked it all for justice, leaving a legacy that still echoes today.
