"Biden's Historic Move: National Monument Honoring Emmett Till and His Mother"

President Joe Biden will establish the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument to honor the memory of Emmett Till, a black teenager who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955. The monument will be set up at three sites in Illinois and Mississippi, including the church where Till's funeral took place, the courthouse where his killers were acquitted, and the riverbank where his body was found. This comes a year after Biden signed the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act into law, making lynching a federal hate crime offense.
