The idea
In nineteen sixty-three Medgar Evers, a Second World War veteran and Mississippi's first NAACP field secretary, was assassinated at his home in Jackson, the Yawp records.
In practice
A thirty-seven-year-old veteran killed at his own home.
Where people slip
The anchor does not carry Evers; the Yawp places his death in the summer the March on Washington was organised.
