Myrlie Evers-Williams ’68 Collection
Pomona College will preserve the collection for both academic and, in time, public access through The Claremont Colleges Library, where archivists are organizing and cataloguing the material spanning six decades.
Medgar & Myrlie Evers Institute
Founded in 1989, the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Institute represents the legacies of two of the strongest champions for change in the history of our nation. MMEI is committed to strengthening communities throughout the United States so that all Americans can live a life free of violence, exercise their liberty and right to vote, and pursue advancement opportunities. MMEI aims to strengthen the areas in our society that continue to stack the deck against everyday Americans, weaken communities and eliminate progress. MMEI’s goal is to inspire, educate, activate, heal, and empower the next generation of social and racial justice, civil rights and human rights activists.
"MMEI believes all Americans benefit when intergenerational connections are strengthened, new generations of socially and politically active leaders are empowered, individuals are provided with quality education and communities work together to benefit our nation." – Reena Evers-Everette
