Medgar Evers Home Now Open | Jackson News

Step into history at the newly opened Medgar and Myrlie Evers National Monument in Jackson, Mississippi — where the home of a Civil Rights giant still echoes with courage. Walk through rooms preserved from the 1950s, see photos of Medgar Evers at work, and feel the heartbeat of a movement that changed America. This wasn’t just a house — it was a command center for voter drives and boycotts, fueled by resilience against all odds. As Mississippi’s field secretary, his influence spanned the entire state. And beyond the house? Myrlie Evers’s garden invites you to connect with the land and legacy. Open Tuesday–Saturday, 9 AM–4 PM — a powerful, personal pilgrimage through the soul of the Civil Rights Movement.
