Myrlie Evers-Williams




“We invoke the prayers of our grandmothers … Let their spirit guide us as we claim the spirit of old. There’s something within me that holds the reins. There’s something within me that banishes pain. There’s something within me that I cannot explain… all I know … is there is something within. There is something within.”  



widow of Medgar Evers and first woman to deliver a prayer at a Presidential inauguration (1.21.13)
