As Mississippi celebrates the 100th anniversary of Medgar Evers’s birth, the Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics will host a panel discussion titled, “Only a Pawn in Their Game: Bob Dylan, Medgar Evers and the Delta Folk Jubilee of 1963,” on Oct. 8 at 5:30 p.m. in the Overby Center Auditorium on the Ole Miss campus. Dr. R.J. Morgan will lead the program, joined by Jerry Mitchell of Mississippi Today and Evers’ daughter, Reena Evers-Everette.

The public is invited to the Overby Center program and there is no charge for admission. Free parking is available on the Ole Miss campus. A reception for all attendees will follow the program. Mitchell’s book, “Race Against Time,” will be available for purchase after the program and he will sign copies.
