She was wise in the fact the best revenge is success and going on to live a great life of accomplishments. She is a strong woman who went on to do great things. She is amazing?

When I was attending Jackson State University, my grandparents took me to this house and they told me to look at this history and take this in. I have an opportunity to learn and do more than what they were able to do in their time. I appreciate them and the Evers’ legacy. I’m happy that their former residence is a landmark in Jackson,Mississippi. I feel so blessed to that memory. They made being black equivalent to excellence and sacrifice.

“Ain’t gone leave that man.” She really loved him.

My initial impression of Mrs Evers was how beautiful and vibrant she is. She truly was given courage and strength from the most high. I thank God for her and her late husband for a life of service in human rights and justice. Thank you, CBS.

What a Beautiful dignified honest lady, she’s aged so beautifully and still fighting for our equality. RIP Medgar Evers ❤

A Queen and not because she was married to Medgar, but because she, herself fought for rights, fought for what was right, herself. Outside of his shadow, but a blessing their union was and seemingly still is. ❤ Thank you Mr and Mrs Evers

My heart bleeds, cries and screams joy all at the same time. To be amongst this deep history of my people is extremely moving. She’s the epitome of strength and grace. Just beautiful ❤️

This woman has always been so elegant! I'm so happy to see her doing well at 90 years young! It's admirable to see that after 60 years, she still holds such high regard and an undying love for her dear husband! ❤️

What a phenomenal woman ! She’s very inspiring 🙏🏾

She was very honest about her feelings and had EVERY ROGHT to feel that way.

Powerful. My college friend's grandparents were friends with them and lived in the house directly across the street. I spent the night a few times in the early 2000s and always found myself waking up and looking out the window at the spot medgar died in . I remember feeling so sad to see how life just went on in the neighborhood and disappointed that we were havings some of the same convos about race despite all the assassinations.

"vengeance. by doing well." I can't even describe how that statement makes me feel, how this entire interview makes me feel.

She looks so incredible to be 90. She definitely doesnt look it. I admire the fact that she made sure her husband's death wasn't in vain. Such a wonderful story.

I always loved Myrlie speeches. She was so regal and such an eloquent speaker . I wasn’t born until the 70’s, but the civil rights movement helped shape me as a person growing up in the north. So grateful Medgar Evers and Myrlie and all my black heroes. I miss all my old heroes. We don’t have the same leadership now. 😢❤

She articulates herself sooo well! She is so royal and regal

This brought a tear to my eye 😢! God bless the Evers family ! People really gave their lives to the struggle

Thank you for this portrait. Somehow I made it to 69 years of age without ever hearing Mrs. Evers speak. An unfortunate deficit in my life. Such eloquence and grace, courage and integrity, determination and strength. I appreciate immensely her willingness to speak candidly about her true feelings. I wish I'd had a chance to meet her while I was living in MS.

She's amazing! Thank you for your work, strength and candor and keeping your husband's legacy alive and well. ❤

What a stirring interview! What a woman! Thank you, Gayle.

She looks amazing and has done so much in 90 years. What a inspiration!

I am in tears. Thank God for them both.

This interview made me cry sooo much. I feel changed just by watching it...I cant even imagine being so blessed as to meet her in person. Excellent job Gayle! ❤❤❤

The grace! I could listen to her speak all day! ❤ Our history

90 where???? She looks marvelous 😍

Wow! She looks beautiful & much younger than 90. She looks like she’s in her mid 60’s-early 70’s! Seriously! God Bless this woman ❤️

She was always so pretty to me. Just pure beauty inside and out.

She’s beautiful.

Just got done watching Ghost of Mississippi. Cried like a baby. Great movie. I wanted to look up any interviews or old footage. Found this first. What a beautiful, fierce woman.

Such a phenomenal woman with the determination like no other. This was a wonderful segment about her life and accomplishment.

I love her transparency. She's so pure.

May God continue to bless Mrs. Myrlie Evers-Williams and her family. She looks absolutely wonderful for 90 years of age.

Ms. Evers Williams is as beautiful as she was 60 years ago.

I’m going down to Mississippi and plan to view this historical landmark ❤

She's so poised - so eloquent and thoughtful. Never rushed her words and when she speaks --- we listen. She visited Spelman (which is showing as a misspelling as I type this and let's you know the nuances of the inequity she discussed) during my sister's college days (close to commencement) and it seemed as if the campus stopped.

She was honest. Most would try to talk about harmony. She was honest. Was powerful ❤️

Loved the transparency of her telling her journey! Wow. I can only imagine the different emotions. To see the fruit in her life today though. Amazing ❤👏

Why do I cry see this so proud of her. God bless you ma'am she look so beautiful Thank for what you do

So many comments focused on her youthful appearance lets acknowledge her intelligence, determination and loyalty to her purpose! SALUTE.

I think you missed the point. Hatred ages you and can make you bitter.

When I was younger I wanted to go to Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, unfortunately due to some life issues I was unable to attend. But I never knew this rich ( his-story )of him and her until now thank you for this!! BTW I did go to college as an adult and graduate at Winston Salem State University.

This woman captured my heart as a kid when I saw The Ghosts of Mississippi for the first time. Such a strong, intelligent woman with a beautiful soul. I’m so glad she’s still here to remind us that hate is never the answer ❤

Her honesty is a testament to everyone's humanity because lies just hurt ourselves and others. So real, so beautiful, and absolutely amazingly strong.

What an inspirational soul. Mrs. Evers is transparent and thoughtful, and I thank you for allowing the public a front row seat expressing your feelings and innermost thoughts of your life in the fight. What a beautiful person. Please, there should be a new movie/documentary about the life of this first family of the Civil Rights Movement.

What an Amazing phenomenal woman! She continues to carry the torch that her husband once carried. Mrs. Evers, Medgar will never be forgotten. He is one of the EXCEPTIONAL PIONEERS in the freedom of blacks in our country! Thanks for your strength! And Gail this was a great interview.

Mr Evers has been DEAD for such a long time but Mrs Evers has NEVER forgotten! Now that's a wife!

This is still overwhelming! And, THEY want to cancel CRT? Teach you children, please.

God Bless this beautiful woman and her family. Keeping Medgar Evers memory alive.

Still beautiful and graceful. Real class never fades. One of the great Queens. She outlived her two fellow sisters in the fight Coretta King and Betty Shabazz. The three pillars.

This interview brought tears to my eyes. Well don’t, Gayle and God bless you Mrs. Evers!

Thank you Mrs Evers for sharing this very intimate part of your life

Worth? They are intentionally and systematically disassembling black nationalism so pride in our nation weakens, we forget the sins of the oppressors, and little black kids feel further ashamed of who they are, less tied to their people and believe they come from nothing. This is a deliberate effort to destabilized and erase us from history. People who have no pride in their race marry out and give their wealth and money to children who look and share an increasingly smaller link to the DNA of their ancestors. European history however will stay in these schools and kids will be taught about how those people conquered the world and set the moral compass.

A beautiful, smart, intelligent, classy woman who looks nowhere near 90! She looks like she's in her 60s! God bless you, queen! You are a true inspiration!
