This story is from March, but I had not seen it until today. The Clarion-Ledger<\/a> reported on March 7 that Charles Evers<\/a> has endorsed Donald Trump<\/a> for President. Charles Evers is the borther of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers<\/a>, who was assassinated in front of his Jackson<\/a> home in\u00a01963.<\/p>\n

The article lists Mr. Evers reasons for the endorsement:<\/p>\n

According to Evers,\u00a0the hiring practices of Trump’s properties are reflective of him being “fair.” Before launching his campaign, Trump was\u00a0accused of discrimination.\u00a0In 1973, the real estate mogul\u00a0and his father were\u00a0sued by the Department of Justice<\/a> under the Fair Housing Act<\/a>\u00a0for allegedly implementing a system to block\u00a0black applicants from renting Trump Management’s\u00a0Brooklyn<\/a>;\u00a0Queens;\u00a0and Norfolk, Virginia<\/a>, properties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Evers said he doesn’t feel the U.S. should be obligated to provide support for undocumented immigrants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evers added that he also respects Trump for his faith and that he plans to attend Monday’s rally<\/a> in Madison. Evers said that if he has the chance to speak with Trump he wants to pitch bringing a catfish processing plant to Mississippi<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Our catfish is shipped to China and brought back for us to buy. Put a catfish farm here.” \u00a0A website for\u00a0The Catfish Institute<\/a>, based in Jackson, lists\u00a0more than half a dozen U.S.-certified catfish processors in the state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mitch Tyner chairman\u00a0of the Mississippi Donald Trump Committee in a news release Friday named\u00a0Evers as a\u00a0member of the candidate’s state campaign team\u00a0along with Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Evers is 93 years old. I have not seen this story in the media until I stumbled on it today. Mr. Evers is obviously a realist who has made a very practical choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
