Medgar Evers attended Alcorn State University in Mississippi, where he studied agriculture. He later transferred to the University of Mississippi, but his studies were interrupted due to racial discrimination and hostility. Evers was a prominent civil rights activist and his education played a role in shaping his commitment to fighting for equality and justice.
Medgar Evers was buried on June 18, 1963, and he was exhumed on June 28, 1991, making it nearly 28 years between his burial and exhumation. The exhumation was conducted to gather evidence for the ongoing pursuit of justice in his murder case.

Medger Evers was one of the pioneers of the civil rights movement in the United States in the early sixties, he was assianated by a racist Klan member who was not brought to justice in Mississippi until thirty years later, this racist did spend the last years of his life in prison. Medger Evers paid the ultimate price for freedom and dignity, without a doubt, an American hero.
Evers applied to the then-segregated University of Mississippi Law School in February 1954. When his application was rejected, Evers filed a lawsuit against the university, and became the focus of a NAACP campaign to desegregate the school, a case aided by the United States Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education 347 U.S. 483 that segregation was unconstitutional.
I could not find a precedent to Medgar Evers' quote, "You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea."

Certainly- he was assasinated. Must have been engaged in risky activity- hence martyrdom status. One can of course claim, like many war casualties that there are elements of accident.
