Actually, Medgar *Evans* was the guy assassinated after he was caught burning black churches in Arkansas. It’s rather easy to get one’s Medgars confused. Bob

Where did “Evans” burn churches? It wasn’t in Arkansas during the sixties.

From the DailyRepublican - Clinton’s Arkansas Democrat Party constituents don’t think He could have remembered such fires, since there were not any according to John Ferguson, director of the Arkansas History Commission. Former Arkansas State Senator, Jerry Jewell who served as a President of the State NAACP from 1959-1973 told the Arkansas Gazette on Monday “I’ve never known of a black church being burned in Arkansas.”
