On this day in in 1963, Civil Rights activist Medgar Evers was shot and killed on the doorstep of his house.
Evers, who used to be escorted home by FBI and police cars, arrived at his house on the day of his death without any of the usual protection.
"I opened the door, and there was Medgar at the steps, face down in blood," his wife later told People magazine. "The children ran out and were shouting, 'Daddy, get up!'"
It took 30 years and 3 trials to get his killer convicted.
