Medgar Evers was murdered on this date in 1963. A WWII veteran & civil rights leader, Medgar was killed for registering Black people to vote in Mississippi. Medgar's story has inspired people to get their voting rights restored, including Alfonzo Tucker:https://campaignlegal.org/story/alabama-took-my-voting-rights-away-owing-4-dollars …
Our #RestoreYourVote project helped Alfonzo restore his voting rights after Alabama disenfranchised him for owing the state just four dollars. Alfonzo said that while he was behind bars, he read a book about Medgar. #MedgarEvers
Alfonzo said Medgar's story motivated him to get his voting rights back and make a difference in fighting racism. Today, we honor Medgar Evers. If you have a past felony conviction, visit http://RestoreYourVote.org to learn if you are eligible to have your rights restored.
