Not long after midnight on Wed. June 12, 1963, Evers was returning to his house after a meeting with lawyers from the @NAACP. He was carrying shirts that said “Jim Crow Must Go” when he was assassinated in his front yard by a white supremacist. #BlackHistoryMonth #SayBlack — PolitiTweet.org

He worked for the @NAACP in Mississippi as their first field secretary in that state, attempting to desegregate the state’s institutions. His investigations into the lynching of Emmett Till raised his profile and made him the target of multiple attempts on his life. — PolitiTweet.org

Parks was born in Alabama, and her role in the Civil Rights Movement is hard to overstate. Most Americans know her bravery and refusal to give up her seat was a catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, but she was always involved in the movement for equality and justice. https://t.co/yUbcSjmnr2 — PolitiTweet.org

The American economy created 517,000 new jobs last month, and unemployment is down to 3.4% - the lowest number in decades. While we still have work to do on so many issues, President Biden is getting stuff done. — PolitiTweet.org

Just over two months after the fire at their office, Chambers received news of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in the Swann v. @CharMeckSchools case, the case he argued, which held that busing students to promote integration is constitutional. #BlackHistoryMonth #SayBlack — PolitiTweet.org

Chambers then moved to Charlotte where he would start the first integrated law firm in North Carolina with Adam Stein and James Ferguson. The firm would go on to argue many important civil rights cases. https://t.co/bxT7FHbttO — PolitiTweet.org
