To anon user. Claiming FBI complicity with the murder of Evers needs citation at the very least. What evidence can you point to ?

[edit] References
I would disput the inclusion of Scott's book on Beckwith in his article. Scott's work, Glory in Conflict, does not comply with the npov and is far from scholarly. The best scholarly work on Evers is found in Dittmer's Local People. Scott was an associate of Beckwith's and shared his supremacist views. He makes a futile attempt to link the Evers' asassination to Lee harvey Oswald and the Kennedys. Even the so-called "transcripts" quoted within the book leave out any evidence that would damn Beckwith. Glory in Conflict is pure racist literature and nothing else. The only place it has value is in a conversation of Beckwith's ideology; an ideology that drove him to shoot Evers in the back. References to this book for any other reason, at best, risky.

I concur with the above note and will delete Scott from the reference section. Skywriter 19:06, 28 June 2006
[edit] welty short story
before evers' murder was solved, eudora welty wrote a shorty story character study of one of the suspects. i suggest that this synopsis of his life and legacy include reference to welty's "where is the voice coming from". -amanda- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.111.144.80 (talk) 18:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] murdered activists
I deleted this category because I'm in the process of deleting the entire category page for "murdered activists". Evers is listed as both a murdered and assassinated activist - only one of which is accurate (assassinated). Envirocorrector 13:57, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- OK. In the future, it'll save everyone time if you use edit summaries to describe what you're doing. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
