Updated: Mon 7:00 PM, Sep 29, 2014

Decatur, Miss. An exhibit honoring a Mississippi civil rights icon opened Monday at East Central Community rd' College. The Medgar Evers Exhibit, 'This Is Home' !!!', debuted at the Mamie Ethel Burton library on the campus of ECCC. It features the life and legacy of the Decatur native as he fought for civil rights here in Mississippi and across the nation. East Central president, Dr. Billy Stewart, says this exhibit stands for the rights that Evers sought for all Mississippians. "We want to be sure that we acknowledge that and recognize that and just celebrate what Medgar Evers was all about, his stance for equality and for unity," said Stewart. "And we believe this exhibit will help us fulfill that vision that he had for a greater Mississippi." If you want to visit the exhibit, you may stop by the library during its normal business hours. It will be displayed at East Central Community College until Nov. 21, 2014.
