Biden will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the Black teen lynched in Mississippi
SUMMARY: President Joe Biden will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the Black teenager who was brutally killed in 1955 after being accused of whistling at a white woman. The monument will be created across three sites in Illinois and Mississippi. It will preserve places significant to Till's life, including the church where his funeral was held and the locations where his body was found and his killers were acquitted. This decision comes at a time of racial tensions in the United States, with conservative leaders opposing the teaching of slavery and Black history in schools.
