The Everette Grandparents And Mother Reena Evers Are Worried For Nicole Everett Sudden Disappearance

The family of Medgar and Myrlie Evers has announced that their granddaughter, Nicole Evers-Everette, also known as Niki, is missing in Georgia.

Niki has not been seen since September 22, 2024, when she last talked to her mother, Reena Evers-Everette, at 5:55 PM EDT from her apartment in Duluth.

Highlights

• When Nicole’s grandfather, Medgar Evers, became the Mississippi field secretary for the NAACP in 1954, grandmother Myrlie worked with him.
• Nicole’s father is Charles Everette, and she grew up with sister Cambi and three brothers, Fernando, Keith, and Daniel.
• The Everette family encourages folks with information to call the Gwinnett County Police Department at 770-513-5700.

Her mother expressed that she is distraught and scared for her daughter, Niki, who hasn’t gone to work this week, which is unusual for her.

They usually talk often, so it’s strange that her mother can’t reach her.

Niki left behind her cell phone, purse, and other personal items.

However, on September 23rd night, her car was last seen missing from her apartment complex on Keys Ferry Road and McCart Road in McDonough, GA.

When Medgar Evers became the Mississippi field secretary for the NAACP in 1954, Myrlie worked with him.

She served as his secretary; together, they organized voter registration drives and civil rights events.

Myrlie helped him as he fought against racial separation in schools and public places and worked to secure voting rights for African Americans in the South.

For over ten years, the Everses advocated for equal access to public services, the desegregation of the University of Mississippi, and equal rights for African Americans in the state.

As the prominent leaders in the civil rights movement, they faced significant threats from those opposed to their efforts.

As time passed, she watched her mother, Myrlie Evers, rise to become a significant civil rights leader.

Nicole’s father is Charles Everette, and she grew up with sister Cambi and three brothers, Fernando, Keith, and Daniel.

Sadly, Niki’s only sister, Cambi, lost her life to breast cancer back in 2018.
