Bob Dylan dedicated his song "Only a Pawn in Their Game" to the memory of his murdered father Medgar Evers. The song appeared on his album "The Times They Are A-Changin'" (1964).
A very young child when his father was assassinated, he barely remembered him. A scene from the film Ghosts of Mississippi (1996) mirrored his real life experience - he actually went to the exhumation of his father's body in Washington, D.C.
Grandson of Jessie Wright, James Evers, James Van Dyke Beasley, and Mildred Washington Beasley.
