Biden establishes Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley monument
President Joe Biden signals a proclamation to establish Emmett Until and his mother Mamie Until-Mobley Nationwide Monument across three web sites in Illinois and Mississippi. Vice President Kamala Harris was also in attendance. Until, a Black teen from Chicago, was kidnapped, tortured, and killed in 1955 just after he was accused of whistling at a white female in Mississippi. The monument will guard sites that are central to the tale of Till’s everyday living and death at age 14, the acquittal of his white killers and his mother’s activism.
