The Trump administration sparks INSTANT backlash after ordering the #NationalParksService to remove references to racism at monument dedicated to civil rights icon #MedgarEvers who was assassinated by a KKK member #JohnIadarola and #SharonReed break it down.

When we erase words like #racist from the story of #MedgarEvers’ murder, we aren’t correcting history—we’re hiding it. Memory is resistance. Storytelling is defiance. Truth matters.

#NationalParkService dumb revisionist history wants 2 change #MedgarEvers murder in his driveway 2 what?
Not done by Racist #ByronDeLaBeckwick who admitted his actions, was in #KKK but Park service wants Racist acts removed from literature.
If there wasn’t Racism in US, it wouldn’t be in #USHistory!

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

“The Park Service just scrubbed ‘racist’ from the description of Byron De La Beckwith—the Klansman who murdered Medgar Evers. Trump’s 2025 executive order is now literally whitewashing racism in U.S. history. #WhitewashingHistory #MedgarEvers #BlackHistoryMonth mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

On Sat. 05-Feb-1994, white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith was convicted for the Wed. 12-Jun-1963 murder of NAACP leader Medgar Evers in Jackson, Mississippi — more than 30 years after the killing, and after two 1964 trials ended in hung juries. The case was revived through Myrlie Evers’ persistence and new evidence; Beckwith received a life sentence and died in prison in 2001. “On February 5, 1994, white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith is convicted in the murder of … Medgar Evers, over 30 years after the crime occurred.” “On June 12, 1963 at 12:40 a.m., Evers was shot in the back in the driveway of his home in Jackson, Mississippi.” “Justice was finally achieved when Beckwith was convicted and given a life sentence by a racially diverse jury in 1994.” HISTORY.com Editors (HISTORY.com; published 24-Nov-2009; updated 27-May-2025)

05-Feb-1994: Byron De La Beckwith —𝗞𝗞𝗞 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘁— finally convicted for murdering Medgar Evers (12-Jun-1963).

A reminder that justice can be delayed, not denied — thanks to Myrlie Evers’ relentless fight. 🕯️✊🏾 #MedgarEvers #CivilRights

For most who were alive it is hard to deny that the murder of #MedgarEvers was the spark that brought the #CivilrightsMoviement to the whole country. #WholeMovie #RIPRobReiner.

One of the most impactful movies that #RobReiner made was the story of the second trial of #ByronDeLaBeckwith [ #JamesWood], after decades of Widow #MyrlieEvers [ #Whoopiegoldberg] struggle for Justice for her Husband #MedgarEvers. #RIPRobReiner

Extreme views of assassin Beckwith from 35 years ago now in mainstream - Mississippi Today Jerry Mitchell writes Beckwith's "anti-science, anti-vaccine, anti-immigrant and anti-federal government rhetoric have made their way into the mainstream."

Government websites have deleted content related to Black history. Some deleted material — including #NationalParkService pages about #HarrietTubman and #MedgarEvers — was restored after public backlash, but researchers say most erasures remain uncorrected.

Yes! Say her name #DeniseMcNair the people that did this(bombed a black church that killled 4girls at church) are #Trump’s kind of people who murdered #MLK #MedgarEvers all the murders in the #CivilRights movement These people are in #Republican #MAGA congress today supporting their leader trump

Medgar Evers, WWII veteran & NAACP’s first Mississippi field secretary, fought segregation and championed voting rights. His assassination in 1963 shocked the nation—but his courage still fuels the fight for justice. #MedgarEvers #CivilRights #JusticeForAll

The Voting Rights Act hangs in the balance. Remember those who lost their lives for it. The context of why civil rights activists like Medgar Evers and Maceo Snipes were murdered has been lost in the current conversation about the Voting Rights Act at the Supreme Court.

Tomorrow, we walk the path of #MLK, of #RosaParks, of #SusanBAnthony, #MedgarEvers, #GeorgeWashington, #Ghandi, and so many others who have moved the moral arc of humanity forward. In #Salisbury #MD, a blue dot in a red district, we will CELEBRATE #NoKingsDay from 11 to 1 at 13 & College Ave!

White people: We have never seen the leaders of our country weaponize the levers of power to go after political enemies. This is unprecedented.
