His murder also made him a martyr to the civil rights movement. He served in the American army in World War II, and by 1956 he became the first NAACP field secretary in Mississippi. Evers traveled through Mississippi recruiting members, organizing voter-registeration, and organizing boycotts. In June of 1963, a few hours after John F. Kennedy had made a broadcast to the nation on civil rights, Evers was ambushed and shot in front of his home. His death made him a nationally known figure, who was receiving praise and awards. Following in his footsteps, his brother took over his position and continued to campaign for civil rights. ]]> 2018-12-12 17:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/metschampelr/4k4r7o3lczeb/wish/313953624 Byron De La Beckwith (ABBY) https://padlet.com/metschampelr/4k4r7o3lczeb/wish/313953684 - killer of Medgar Evers

He is an American singer-songwriter, author, and artist who has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became a reluctant "voice of a generation” with songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" which became anthems for the Civil Rights Movement and anti-war movement.
- Dylan's lyrics incorporate a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences.
- On August 28, Dylan and Joan Baez would soon perform at the Freedom March in Washington, D.C., when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his legendary “I Have a Dream” speech. Dylan performed “When the Ship Comes In,” and “Only a Pawn in Their Game,” also joining Len Chandler for the song “Hold On.”
-  “Only a Pawn in Their Game,”  was a freshly-penned song about the slaying of civil rights leader Medgar Evers that occurred weeks earlier.
-  In May 2012, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama, and, in 2016, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".

Originally, his name was Robert Allen Zimmerman until he began performing country and folk songs in college. During his time at the University of Minnesota, he adopted the name “Bob Dylan” as he became more popular and eventually dropped out in 1960. He was known to be good friends with Woody Guthrie, a legendary folk music performer who was hospitalized at the time. He then wrote “Song to Woody” and received a positive review in the New York Times. After this review, he signed a recording contract with Columbia Records, legally changing his name to Bob Dylan. While the album only included two original songs, it showcased his gravel-voiced style with a number of folk and blues songs. In 1963, he released his album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan which helped him emerge as an influential singer songwriter in the U.S. he later became attached with the civil rights movement with his album The Times Are A-Changin’ and his relationship with Joan Baez, another figure in the movement. Dylan later wanted to distance himself from his reputation as the most influential folk singer and released Another Side of Bob Dylan, which contained less political meaning. Dylan is often best known for his ability to combine music and literature in a unique way.]]> 2018-12-12 17:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/metschampelr/4k4r7o3lczeb/wish/313959472
