Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home 

National Monument 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As authorized by the John D. 

Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, 

and Recreation Act, the National Park 

Service announces that the Secretary of 

the Interior (Secretary) has established, 

in the State of Mississippi, Medgar and 

Myrlie Evers Home National Monument 

(National Monument) as a unit of the 

National Park System. This National 

Monument is established to preserve, 

protect, and interpret for the benefit of 

present and future generations resources 

associated with the pivotal roles of 

Medgar and Myrlie Evers in the 

American Civil Rights Movement. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lance Hatten, Deputy Regional Director, 

National Park Service, South Atlantic 

Gulf Regional Office at (404) 507–5605. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

2301 of the John D. Dingell, Jr. 

Conservation, Management, and 

Recreation Act, Public Law 116–9 

includes a specific provision relating to 

establishment of this unit of the 

National Park System. To establish the 

National Monument, the Secretary must 

determine that a sufficient quantity of 

land, or interests in land, has been 

acquired to constitute a manageable 

park unit. The National Park Service 

typically publishes notice of the 

establishment of the new System unit in 

the Federal Register no later than 30 

days after the Secretary makes a 

determination of this sort. 

Medgar Evers was the first Mississippi 

field secretary for the National 

Association for the Advancement of 

Colored People (NAACP) and was at the 

forefront of every major civil rights 

event in Mississippi from 1955 until his 

assassination in 1963. While Medgar 

was the public face of the NAACP in 

Mississippi, Myrlie Evers worked 

behind the scenes running the NAACP 

field office in Jackson, drafting 

speeches, and providing personal and 

logistical support for her husband and 

other civil rights workers. After her 

husband’s death, Myrlie assumed a 

public role in the civil rights movement. 

Soon after his funeral, she began 

speaking at NAACP events across the 

nation, eventually becoming the first 

woman to chair the board of the NAACP 

from 1995 to 1998. 

The assassination of Medgar Evers on 

June 12, 1963, in the carport of the 

couple’s home was the first murder of 

a civil rights leader that focused 

national attention on the civil rights 

movement. His death heightened public 

awareness throughout the United States 

of civil rights issues and became one of 

the catalysts for the passage of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964. The National Park 

Service acquired by general warranty 

deed the fee simple interests in the 

approximately 0.15-acre parcel of land 

that includes the family home on June 

18, 2020. 

On November 9, 2020, the Secretary 

of the Interior signed a Decision 

Memorandum determining that a 

sufficient quantity of land, or interests 

in land, had been acquired to constitute 

a manageable park unit. With the 

signing of this Decision Memorandum 

by the Secretary, the site to be known 

as the ‘‘Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home 

National Monument’’ was established as 

a unit of the National Park System, 

effective November 9, 2020, and is 

subject to all laws, regulations, and 

policies pertaining to such units.

Counselor to the Secretary, Exercising the 

Delegated Authority of the Director.
