Mr. Evers, the first field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Mississippi, led voter-registration drives and boycotts against segregation before he was shot and killed at age 37 outside his home by a white supremacist.
Mr. Evers, a World War II Army veteran, was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. His wife Myrlie Evers, now 87, later served as national chair of the NAACP and delivered the invocation at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration.
The national monument, which was authorized by Congress and signed into law by President Trump in March 2019, consists of an 0.15-acre parcel of land as well as the Evers’ home. Plans are underway to allow visitors.
