NPR's Ari Shapiro speaks with Myrlie Evers-Williams, the widow of Medgar Evers who was assassinated in their home state of Mississippi, about the state removing the Confederate insignia from its flag.

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:

Tomorrow would have been the 95th birthday of Medgar Evers.

SHAPIRO: And so why do you think, after all the unsuccessful attempts to change the Mississippi flag this one ended differently?

SHAPIRO: What would you like to see on the new Mississippi state flag?

SHAPIRO: Myrlie Evers-Williams, what an honor to talk to you.
