Cindy Hyde-Smith on Civil Rights

Worked to get Medgar Evers home declared national monument

Wicker said, "I thank President Trump for signing this legislation that will provide additional resources to preserve their home for future generations of visitors. The Evers' pursuit of equality and justice will be an enduring part of American history."

[Medgar Evers, an African-American, was assassinated in 1963 for his civil rights work. His wife, Myrlie Evans, then moved in 1964 from their home in Mississippi, to a less civil-rights embattled state, California].
