U.S. Blamed for Slaying in Mississippi
NAACP official Clarence Mitchell testified before a House subcommittee that the federal government failed to protect civil rights, citing the murder of Medgar Evers and threats to his family. Mitchell linked the delay in justice to slow federal action and criticized inaction until violence drew national attention. Dr. Aaron Henry recalled Evers as a close friend as he testified on the Mississippi civil rights struggle.
