When people are faced with overwhelming trauma in their lives, some become consumed by their difficulties, while others emerge stronger for it. In special circumstances, they may find their destiny, and seek to heal the world and make all of us stronger.
Myrlie Evers-Williams and Sybrina Fulton are two great women whose achievements demand our attention. Although their personal stories are separated by five decades, these women share parallel lives. Thrust into a position of leadership for the greater good of society, they have used personal grief over the loss of a loved one to become agents for change.
Each of these extraordinary women experienced unthinkable tragedy: the killing of a black man in their life who was gunned down while still young. Recently, the two women met in person for the taping of a video for CNN and theGrio.
Evers-Williams is the widow of Medgar Evers, the iconic civil rights leader who served as the field secretary for the NAACP in Mississippi. On June 12, 1963, Evers, who fought against discrimination and segregation and led voter registration efforts, was assassinated by a white supremacist named Byron De La Beckwith, a founder of the state's White Citizens Council.
Evers, 37, was shot in the back while in his driveway after coming from an NAACP meeting. The Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, a state agency that spied on the civil rights movement and was complicit in the death of civil rights workers, assisted Beckwith's lawyers....

CNN sure is a clearing house for all kinds of BS. By the way, I happened to see on CNN (I was having dinner in a friend’s house, and I caught a glimpse of CNN as I was walking in) a Promo for something called “Finding Jesus,” with big words like “Forgeries” and “what is hidden will be found” etc.
What a trash network that gets away with this trash and even promotes (very likely, anyway) anti-Christian propaganda.
Fulton is poster material for how not to raise a kid.
Edgar Evans was an example.
Trayvon was made an example of...
Not even in the same universe of moral compass
American black culture and its ability to discern right from wrong became a victim of Obama’s use of political division .As defending Obama’s use of perversity to accomplish it becomes advanced by the black intelligencia .
A splendid example of media bias used to stoke the fires of Obama’s racial division using pseudo black history and revisionist reflections on MLK Was promoted in academia by a MSMBC black Obama media presenter Mellisa Harris Perry during Columbia University’s “Black History presentation.
Let there be no doubt why and who are responmsible as we were constantly reminded by the selective repeating of the audio and visual later unincluded text portions of the Martin Luthur King Jr. famous “I have a dream “ speech.
The left and its media arm avoided any references to the beginning of and King’s references to the way this country was uniquely created. With its purposes of existence declared through its carefully crafted Constitution. Citing God gifts to mankind, and its Declaration of Independence .
They never cite King’s support and belief in it. Because it wouldn’t serve the purposes of racial division which King was against.
This race war crap was started for one reason and this agenda was driven because;
As opposition to Obama’s abuse of his constitutional authority and talk of “impeachment” began to arise and his polling numbers fell.
What Obama needed, worked for, and got , by separating and isolating his solid group of supporters the blacks through creating out of whole cloth stories of “victimization”.
Using circumstances where lawless black youths wound up dead in felonious struggles over guns held by figures of authority. Both Martin and Brown were the attackers. Obama used his “Bully Pulpit to reinforce that “victim” agenda in Florida and Missouri. In both cases he portrayed authority as the aggressors and the perpetrators as the “victims”
In Florida’s case success was indicated by the number of incidents where members of other races were attacked severly injured or murdered by black youths committing these assults in the name of the so called “victim”. All the while Obama neither commented on nor condemed such activity. Because of this, the question ; Is there blood on his hands ? Are those deaths that resulted from these incidents innocent “victims” of that agenda? Is avoided and never reported by those so called “gatekeepers”..
In Missouri he met with and issued a “stay the course” order to the Ferguson protesters. They in turn coordinated by the usual suspects organized nationwide protests. Their purpose and result was a successful demonstration of what would happen if congress ever moved on any constitutional efforts to restrain or even remove Obama including“Impeachment”..
Once the regime measured its unexpected success why not continue ?
Expand it to war on law enforcement. Get more cops refuse to respond or get killed if they do. or hesitate to defend themselves while attempting to confront “afro-americans” engaged in felonious assults while fleeing or are engaged in criminal activity resisting arrests.
Attack the Grand Jury system investigating police mal practice. It’s not after the facts. It’s after “payback”to those poor hypenated Americans known as “Afro” who because of their financial situation are forced to pillage, kill, and rape. And are entitled to do so.
Exploit innocent interchanges between “afros” and different races make them (the afros) believe it’s racist. Create uneeded tension between them and other groups so that those groups not only view them with aprehension but feral creatures unable to know right from wrong
All because the regime must be protected from being questioned in its exercize and abuse of power.
Then bring in another completely alien group which they believe are easier to manipulate which will furthur isolate the “afro” who will get thrown to the wolves once they’re politically no longer “usefull”.
All made possible by the agenda driven socialist products from academia running the alphabet soup venues controlling the visual and print media . Competing with each other protecting their beneficiairies financial interests. That has wound up in “Trusts” controlled by individuals or groups interested only in protecting their own self interests. “Trusts” which should be broken up.
Worse yet supported by the leadership of the political opposition. Who see the benefits of “working together” expanding government. As the happless voter having never to get their day of reckoning and their children’s children’s children pay the bills living in a culture their forebearers wouldn’t ever recognize. Using the dream of King’s speech as the door mat by a person of his race destroying it.
The Sybrina Fulton fictional story of saintly mother continues.
Edgar Evans. New glasses?
I didn’t realize Medgar Evers had a juvenile burglary record and took photos of himself posing with gang signs and guns, and got buzzed on purple drank. I didn’t realize he walked around with a bag of burglary tools all the time and peered into peoples’ windows casing houses to break into.
The comparison is ludicrous. Evers was assasinated in cold blood, the assassin lay in wait and shot him on his front porch. Martin attacked Zimmerman and was shot in self defense. The author is certifiably insane.
“Myrlie Evers-Williams and Sybrina Fulton are two great women whose achievements demand our attention”...
This is the most absurd thing I have ever read. The two are like the ends of a compass needle.
When will people get over the Trayvon Martin issue and move onto something more important like the obvious failing of this countries so-called leadership in BOTH parties? Time to move on and quit this nonsense.
Achievement? I must have missed something in Ms Fulton’s bio.
These morons are purely delusional, maybe from doing too much crack.
“What Obama needed, worked for, and got , by separating and isolating his solid group of supporters the blacks through creating out of whole cloth stories of ‘victimization’.”
**********************************************************
Exactly.
Now that Martin’s guilt has been clearly determined, it would seem proper if on Martin’s tombstone and etching would appear that reads, “I am Obama”
and then that we would hear of him never again.
I don’t recall Medgar Evers being shot and killed while beating someone’s head on the ground, or am I wrong?
Medgar Evers = Hero
St. Skittles = Thuggin’ Zero
