Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument, Civil rights monument in Jackson, United States.

The Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home is a single-story wood-frame house at 2332 Margaret Walker Alexander Drive, set on brick piers with a shallow-pitch gabled roof of gravel and exposed rafter eaves. Part of the facade is brick veneer, the rest asbestos siding, and the roof extends over a carport sheltering the main entrance. It is one of 36 similar ranch-style houses built by Leroy Burnett and Walter J. Thompson.

The house was built in 1956 and gained national attention following the assassination of civil rights activist Medgar Evers in 1963. This tragic event transformed the family home into a focal point for the civil rights movement.

The neighborhood was built as the first planned middle-class subdivision for African Americans in Mississippi following World War II. This community reflects how Black families of that era worked to establish stability and build a better life for themselves.

The house stands on the north side of Margaret Walker Alexander Drive, a few doors east of Missouri Street in the Elraine Subdivision. The main entrance is sheltered under the carport, reached by the original concrete driveway. The interior is shown by National Park Service staff; confirm current visiting arrangements before travelling.

The bullet that killed Medgar Evers passed through the picture window and the wall between the living room and kitchen before coming to rest; the hole in that wall is still visible. The Everses had chosen the house partly for security: it was not on a corner lot, and the entrance under the carport gave better cover than a front door.
