Description

As the first full-time chairman of the NAACP and a popular speaker, as a committed activist and the widow of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers, as a powerful businesswoman breaking racial and gender barriers in corporate boardrooms and municipal government, Myrlie Evers-Williams is one of the most respected African-Americans in this country. Her dignity and perseverance in bringing her husband's killer to justice -- a battle she waged for more than thirty years -- have made her an inspiration and role model for millions of women of all ages and races.
