9-10 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s

instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day differences he made in you—from nothing to

something, from rejected to accepted. ~1Peter 2:9-10 The Message (MSG)

Medgar Wiley Evers (July 2, 1925 - June 12, 1963) was an American civil rights activist from Mississippi who worked to overturn segregation at the University of Mississippi and to enact social justice and voting rights. He was killed by a segregationist.

Stevland Hardaway Morris(born Stevland Hardaway Judkins; May 13, 1950) known by his stage name Stevie Wonder, is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist. A child prodigy, he is considered to be one of the most critically and commercially successful musical performers of the late 20th century. Wonder was signed with Motown’s Tamla label at the age of 11, and continued performing and

recording for Motown into the 2010s. He has been blind shortly after birth. Among Wonder’s works are singles such as “Superstition”, “Sir Duke”, “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” and “I just Called to Say I Love You”, and albums such as Talking Book, Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life.
