Medgar Evers was only 37 when he was assassinated in 1963. By that age, he was already the NAACP’s first field secretary in Mississippi, organizing voter registration drives, investigating racial terror, and challenging segregation in one of the most violent states in the country for Black activism.

Malcolm X was killed in 1965 at 39. In barely a decade of public life, he transformed himself from a street hustler into one of the most powerful and globally recognized Black voices of the 20th century. His thinking was still evolving. His politics were still changing. He was just beginning to broaden his vision beyond the United States.

Martin Luther King Jr. was also 39 when he was assassinated in 1968. By that age, he had already led the Montgomery Bus Boycott, helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, delivered the “I Have a Dream” speech, and played a central role in the passage of landmark civil rights legislation.

None of them reached 40.

They are often remembered as finished figures, as if their work was complete. It wasn’t. They were young men still growing, still debating strategy, still imagining what freedom could look like in a country that resisted it at every turn.

What they accomplished in such short lives is extraordinary. What was taken from them—and from the movements they were shaping—is just as important to remember.

You can’t gaslight us, Kristi.

Under Secretary Kristi Noem, DHS has sent ICE agents and border police to intimidate our neighborhoods while tearing apart families and communities.

After her masked ICE agents brutally killed Renee Nicole Good on camera, Kristi Noem blamed Good and denied what we ALL saw. Now, Trump’s FBI refuses to work with state and local officials for a fair and thorough investigation.

Good’s family, the people of Minneapolis, and the entire country deserve leadership that will keep people safe, tell the truth, and ensure an independent and complete investigation — not hyperboles and lies. Join us in demanding Kristi Noem’s resignation: hrc.im/Resign
