Biden will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the Black teen lynched in Mississippi
SUMMARY: President Joe Biden will establish a national monument to honor Emmett Till, a Black teenager who was abducted, tortured, and killed in 1955 after being accused of whistling at a white woman in Mississippi. The monument, named the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument, will span three sites in Illinois and Mississippi and will protect places central to Till's life, death, and his mother's activism. Biden's decision comes at a time of racial tension in the US, with conservative leaders pushing back against the teaching of slavery and Black history. It will be the fourth monument Biden has created since taking office.
