He was a United States Army veteran who served in World War II. He was involved in efforts to overturn racial segregation at the University of Mississippi, end the segregation of public facilities, and expand opportunities for African Americans, including the enforcement of voting rights prior to his assassination on June 12, 1963 in the driveway of his home.

A World War II veteran, he investigated racist crimes, including the Emmett Till murder, and organized protests. His 1963 assassination in his driveway by a white supremacist brought national attention to the fight for equality. You can visit the house where Evers and his family lived and where Medgar was assassinated. See the reproduction of the bedrooms , the house, the kitchen and appliances as well as one of the bullet holes from a previous drive by shooting. There is even a map of where the assassin was. Very interesting stuff. The house is preserved by the NPS. It's free to enter and there were two rangers there to explain the history.

While I was visiting my second home, my mum brought me to this nice, new, and updated library…read morelocated in Clinton. When we drove on this long scenic wooded path to what seemed like a modern wooded home-- I got surprised that we were still in MS with such a beauty of what my eyes glimpsed upon. The inside of the library was filled with rock building structures in which held the lobby area and the main reading area together. Open spaced computer pads sat, while large bookcases were overlooking each other. The librarians in the front were friendly and always looking to please the next book lover. To use the computer you must have your library card number, and to get a library card you must have something in your possession that has your name and MS address on it. Computer space is limited; meaning you might just be stuck sitting next to someone that hogs the mouse territory. The ladies restroom is extremely clean and lacks a stinky smell which is a plus. Overall, A+ to this library. FREE Wifi if you don't have a MS library card=== that's a plus, so do bring your electronic devices!

WTF I was supposed to receive my package yesterday, Saturday, and they sent it to another state. These people don't know how to work at all.These people make me angry. They don't know how to work. 2- This is my second opinion. My package never arrived in my mailbox on October 27th. It says it was delivered to my mailbox. But that's never the case. My package came from Clinton. There have been many packages sent from Clinton that never arrive. I'm lucky that I get my money back where I buy it. I'm already tired of this USPS. Do your job properly. That's why this state is the way it is. 1-Horrible customer service... I have sent two envelopes with important papers and the tracking number does not work. And they do not want to help you either. I will not send anything through this place again. Google should put the option to give 0 stars, I would do it.

This pair of mounds are found in Jackson, MS. One, Mound A, is located at a rest area and is…read moreaccessible to the public. There is also an education center there. The other, Mound B, is on private land and is not accessible. Both mounds are on the National Register of Historic Places. The site dates back to 750 and 1600. Mounds of this type were constructed to basically serve one of two purposes, a platform and a burial area. Mound A, is about 22 feet high and 175 feet wide. Mound B, is 10 feet high and 75 feet wide. After the discovery/excavation of the remains of a structure and associated features on top of the mound, as well as numerous artifacts, it was determined that Mound A was more of a platform mound, while mound B was a primarily a burial mound. Both mounds were much larger, but have suffered from erosion over the years. As I mentioned, Mound A is located at a rest area (opened in 2008), both of which are maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. That area is also known as Pocahontas Mounds Roadside Park.The area has security, restrooms, a nice air-conditioned interpretive center that explains a little about the mounds and picnic tables and benches in a patio area behind the bench. There is a nice paved path that leads to a viewing area, but you cannot get close to the mound. The grounds are nice and full of shade trees. I do not think people ae allowed on the green space though and are limited to the patio area and paved paths. Being located at a rest area, parking here is not an issue and is welcomed. There are ample spots available to park and it has easy access. Before my visit here, I had no idea what mounds were. Being a bit of a history buff, I found this site very interesting and learned a lot. The site (Mound A), is very well maintained and nice to visit, even if it is just to take a load off. If you are driving past, it is defiantly worth a stop. I came across this gem on my way to the petrified forest from downtown Jackson.

There's a walking trail that's perfect if you've been traveling for a while and need to stretch your legs. At most, I've only seen 3 - 4 people walking the trail, so it's great for folks who appreciate a bit of privacy. Next door is a decent rest area, so this is a perfect place to stop in my opinion.
