The wife of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers confirmed Friday she has been asked to become chairwoman of the NAACP, which has been beleaguered by financial woes and power struggles.
Myrlie Evers-Williams hasn't decided if she will run, but said she knew ``Medgar would be in utter turmoil and disgust with the way things are going at this point.''
The 64-member board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the nation's oldest civil rights group, holds its annual meeting in New York on Feb. 18, at which the board will choose a chairman.
