  ecision was a pivotal moment for the civil rights movement, as well as a jumping off point in the lives of two diametrically opposed people. One in favor of desegregation, and the other in favor of keeping black students out of white schools.

  Byron De La Beckwith, was 33 at the time the Brown V. Board of Education decision was handed down. He was living in Greenwood Mississippi and was a salesman by trade after serving in the Marine Corps during WWII. After the Supreme Court Decision in May of 1954, De La Beckwith, joined the White Citizen's Council, which formed just 2 months later. The WCC had the goal of preventing non-white students from attending traditionally white schools, which of course made the organization very attractive to De La Beckwith. As he became more active in furthering the ideals of white supremacy, Byron De La Beckwith joined the Ku Klux Klan.
  
  On the other side of the activism coin, was Medgar Evers, who was 28 years old at the time school desegregation began. He was living in Mound Bayou, Mississippi and, like Byron De La Beckwith, he worked as a salesman for a living, after serving in the Army during WWII. Evers was honorably discharged as a sergeant and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College. Evers became President of the Regional Council of Negro Leadership. The RCNL was focused on ensuring black students would be able to attend public schools. Evers also decided to act as a test case for the Supreme Court ruling by attempting to enroll in the University of Mississippi School of Law, which historically did not accept black students. This led to Evers becoming a field secretary for the NAACP.
  
  Being a prominent figure in the civil rights movement proved to be hazardous to one's health, especially in Mississippi. In 1955 civil rights leaders, George W. Lee and Lamar Smith were shot dead in the towns of Midnight and Brookhaven, respectively . In 1961 Herbert Lee was killed in Liberty. In 1964, Louis Allen, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner were all killed in various parts of Mississippi, and the latter three men were victims of the Ku Klux Klan. 1963, saw but one civil rights leader killed in Mississippi. Unfortunately that victim, was Medgar Evers.
