MEDGAR & MYRLIE AND THE LOVE STORY THAT WAKENED AMERICA, written and read by Joy-Ann Reid

Joy-Ann Reid’s MEDGAR & MYRLIE AND THE LOVE STORY THAT WAKENED AMERICA begins with the MSNBC hosts realization that Medgar Evers does not appear on most list of famous Civil Rights personages…and he ought to. She rights this wrong with a story of love—that of husband and wife, that of parents, and those who loved their country and were willing to fight for it. The book embeds Myrlie’s memories of their beginnings, her fear for his life amid all kinds of brutalities in Mississippi and her commitment to justice after his death.
