What Does Medgar Mean to You? Share Your Voice.

On what would have been Medgar Wiley Evers’ 100th birthday, we’re asking one powerful question:

Whether you knew him personally, grew up hearing his story, or learned about his legacy in school or activism, your voice matters in honoring the man who gave everything for justice, dignity, and democracy.

Share your reflection, memory, or message about what Medgar Evers means to you — your "M.E."

Let’s flood the world with love, memory, and mission in honor of a man who continues to inspire movements across generations. Submit your reflection today and be part of a community tribute 100 years in the making.
