Effects, influences, causes of Medgar Evers?

what was the social, political, and economic cause, influences, and effects of Medgar Evers? I know its a lot but please answer whatever you can
Answer: Medgar Wiley Evers (July 2, 1925 – June 12, 1963) was an African American civil rights activist from Mississippi who was murdered by Byron De La Beckwith, a member of the Ku Klux Klan Early life Medgar Evers was born on July 2, 1925 in Decatur, Mississippi. In 1943 enlisted in the army with his older brother Charlie. Evers fought in France, the European Theatre of WWII and was honorably discharged in 1945 as a Sergeant. In 1946, having returned to his hometown, Evers, along with his brother and four friends. In 1948, Evers enrolled at Alcorn State University, majoring in business administration. In college he was on the debate team, played football and ran track, sang in the school choir and served as president of his junior class. He married classmate Myrlie Beasley on December 24, 1951, and completed work on his degree the following year. The couple moved to Mound Bayou, MS, where T.R.M. Howard had hired him to sell insurance for his Magnolia Mutual Life Insurance Company. Social/Political Activism Evers was also the president of the Regional Council of Negro Leadership (RCNL), a civil rights and pro self-help organization. Involvement in the RCNL gave Evers crucial training in activism. He helped to organize the RCNL's boycott of service stations that denied blacks use of their restrooms. The boycotters distributed bumper stickers with the slogan "Don't Buy Gas Where You Can't Use the Restroom." Along with his brother, Charles Evers, he also attended the RCNL's annual conferences in Mound Bayou between 1952 and 1954 which drew crowds of ten thousand or more. Evers applied to the then-segregated University of Mississippi Law School in February 1954. When his application was rejected, Evers became the focus of a NAACP campaign to desegregate the school, a case aided by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education 347 U.S. 483 that segregation was unconstitutional. Social Achievement: NAACP Field Secretary He was involved in a boycott campaign against white merchants and was instrumental in eventually desegregating the University of Mississippi when that institution was finally forced to enroll James Meredith in 1962. In the weeks leading up to his death, Evers found himself the target of a number of threats. His public investigations into the murder of Emmett Till and his vocal support of Clyde Kennard made him a prominent black leader and therefore vulnerable to attack. On May 28, 1963, a molotov cocktail was thrown into the carport of his home. Five days before his death, Evers was nearly run down by a car after he emerged from the Jackson NAACP office. Civil rights demonstrations accelerated in Jackson during the first week of June 1963. A local television station granted Evers time for a short speech, his first in Mississippi, where he outlined the goals of the Jackson movement. Following the speech, threats on Evers' life increased. Assassination On June 12, 1963, Evers pulled into his driveway after just returning from a meeting with NAACP lawyers. Emerging from his car and carrying NAACP T-shirts that read "Jim Crow Must Go," Evers was struck in the back with a bullet fired from an Enfield 1917.303 rifle that ricocheted into his home. He staggered 30 feet before collapsing. He died at a local hospital 50 minutes later. Evers was murdered just hours after President John F. Kennedy's speech on national television in support of civil rights. House where Evers was shot. Mourned nationally, Evers was buried on June 19 in Arlington National Cemetery, where he received full military honors in front of a crowd of more than three thousand people. It was the largest funeral at Arlington since the interment of John Foster Dulles, former U.S. Secretary of State in 1959. The past chairman of the American Veterans' Committee, Mickey Levine, said at the services, "No soldier in this field has fought more courageously, more heroically than Medgar Evers." Medgar Evers grave in Arlington National Cemetery in 2007. On June 23, 1964, Byron De La Beckwith, a fertilizer salesman and member of the White Citizens' Council and Ku Klux Klan, was arrested for Evers' murder. During the course of his first trial in 1964, De La Beckwith was visited by former Mississippi governor Ross Barnett and one time Army Major General Edwin A. Walker. All-white juries twice that year deadlocked on De La Beckwith's guilt. The murder and subsequent trials caused an uproar. Musician Bob Dylan wrote his 1963 song "Only a Pawn in Their Game" about Evers and his assassin. The song's lyrics included: "Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught/They lowered him down as a king." Nina Simone took up the topic in her song "Mississippi Goddam". Phil Ochs wrote the songs "Too Many Martyrs" and "Another Country" in response to the killing. Matthew Jones and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee Freedom Singers paid tribute to Evers in the haunting "Ballad of Medgar Ev

If you were a literary agent....would you accept this novel based on this synopsis?

William Matthews, his pregnant wife Jennifer and their two children Mallory-seventeen and Daria-six have a perfect life--until the day Jennifer is killed in a car crash. As William grieves, he begins planning his wife`s funeral just hours after her death. As he copes with his grief, he finds comfort in Isabella, Jennifer`s estranged and psychotic sister. She slowly works her way into William`s life by taking advantage of his vulnerability. As William spends more time with Isabella, he finds himself strongly attracted to her. He feels enormous guilt about this as he still feels committed to Jennifer. Despite this, William acts on his feelings with Isabella, causing him to isolate himself in sadness. As he visits Jennifer`s grave seeking forgiveness, he is visited by Jennifer in a dream. She offers him her forgiveness but also tells him that it`s ok to move on with his life now that she`s gone, but she warns him to stay as far away as possible from Isabella. Under loyalty to his wife, William tells Isabella, he no longer wants to have dealings with her. This is where her psychotic instincts kick in. Despite William constantly telling Isabella he no longer wants to see her, she begins calling him day and night, she stalks him at home and tells lies to his boss which causes him to lose his job. When William reports her activity to the police, they encourage him to file a stay away order against her, but that does little to scare Isabella away. Isabella takes her rage to a new level when she kidnaps Mallory`s boyfriend and slaughters him with an icepick. She even goes so far as to kidnap Mallory and Daria after school, only to return them to William four hours later to a frightened William who has her arrested on sight. When William finds out from investigators that the cause of Jennifer`s crash was due to her brakes giving out, he is suprised, mainly because William hadn`t had problems with his brakes the day before his crash, he becomes shocked when he discovers that Isabella has escaped from police custody. Isabella becomes determined to set a new meaning to the phrase "if I can`t have you, no one else can," when she travels to William`s house one night while he`s out. In what turns out to be an all night terror fest, Isabella attacks William`s children and bounds them up to their beds. When William returns, he finds his wife`s favorite flowers on his doorstep--white roses covered in blood. He knows they`re from Isabella. He goes inside and discovers his children and immediately makes an attempt to flee the house, but he gets attacked by Isabella. To send more pain and anger his way, Isabella drags Daria to the basement with Mallory and William following along. Immediately, Mallory and William discover Mallory`s boyfriend`s dead body. With pleading from William and Isabella`s revelation to him that she`s Jennifer`s sister and that she fixed Jennifer`s brakes, Isabella stabs Daria in the chest before fleeing the house to escape. As William watches his daughter die, his mind snaps and he goes into a blind rage. After sending Mallory to the police station for help, William goes out searching for Isabella and finds her at her house, preparing to skip town. William and Isabella have a final showdown as they begin a physical battle against each other. Despite William`s built stature, he finds Isabella winning the fight, but as the struggle carries on into the living room, William grabs a hold of a fireplace polk and manages to stab her in the neck, killing her within seconds. As a year passes, William and Mallory try to stabilize their lives after the deaths of Jennifer and Daria by moving out of their town, but as they visit Jennifer and Daria`s grave and surround their tombstones with roses one final time, they realize despite them moving on, they will never forget the pain and loss that changed their lives forever Sorry for the way its formatted....my computer sucks. I know how to format a synopsis, its just my computer is a 1990 lol
Answer: First of all, I just want to say that you have come up with something original and original is very good! However, before I could ever want to buy this book I want to say the following.... I found very little hope in that story outline. And when I go look for books I want something that is going to either a) enlighten me or b) lighten me up. As an example, "Henry Meets The Great Society" is a tragedy about a man who watches his entire life, family included, slip out of his hands and into the control of the "modern machine". It ends with his death and leaves you feeling very empty for about five seconds until you realize what you have learned from the story. It is a bitter tale, but it informs the reader. And truth gives hope. The second kind of of story I look for is one that will lift me up more directly. Books like "Scaramouche: A Romance of the French Revolution" or "The Count of Monte Cristo" do contain hopeless situations and lots of violence but they end with a glimmer of truth that gives hope. The characters leave us with the impression that "there is something left for to live for". Your story, as it appears here, leaves me with an impression of meaninglessness and futility. The characters seem to be living for two reasons: to be murdered violently and to violently murder. Maybe you didn't have time to fit the "good" into your synopsis. If what you mean to communicate through this story is that there is no good, or that good is only transitory and elusive then you have succeeded. I doubt that, however, and I hope you will rethink this synopsis and find a way to infuse a little glimmering light into the material. Disclaimer: what I'm NOT saying is to make your story have a "happy ending". I'm not saying that at all! Many excellent books have been written that are dark and end miserably. HOWEVER, they also inform the reader about a greater human condition and many times they leave the reader feeling like he has a choice to make in his own life.
