"Biden's Proclamation: Emmett Till Honored with National Monument"

The White House will establish the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument, honoring the 14-year-old boy whose lynching in 1955 played a role in sparking the civil rights movement. The monument will be located across three sites in Mississippi and Illinois, including the Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ in Chicago, where Till's killing was mourned. The other sites will be Graball Landing in Mississippi, where Till's body was found, and the Tallahatchie County Second District Courthouse in Sumner, where his suspected killers were acquitted.
