In this episode of Slept On, Corinne and Isaiah uncover a side of civil rights icon Medgar Evers that rarely gets talked about — his time as a football player at Alcorn State University. Before he became a national figure in the fight for justice, Evers was a student-athlete who brought grit, leadership, and determination to the gridiron. The hosts explore how his experiences on the field shaped his resilience of it, and how Alcorn’s athletic history ties into a broader story of strength, identity, and legacy in Mississippi.
