President Biden will reportedly sign a proclamation on Tuesday to establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the 14-year-old Black teenager whose lynching in 1955 galvanized the Civil Rights Movement.
The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument will span three sites in Illinois and Mississippi, marking locations that are central to Till’s story, according to The Associated Press.

“The new monument will protect places that tell the story of Emmett Till’s too-short life and racially-motivated murder, the unjust acquittal of his murderers, and the activism of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, who courageously brought the world’s attention to the brutal injustices and racism of the time, catalyzing the civil rights movement,” a White House official told CNN.
It will include the Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ in Chicago, where Till’s mother held an open-casket funeral to display her son’s brutalized body.

Graball Landing in Tallahatchie County, Miss., where Till’s body is believed to have been pulled from the Tallahatchie River, and the Tallahatchie County Second District Courthouse in Sumner, Miss., where Till’s murderers were acquitted, will also be part of the monument.
Till was visiting relatives in Mississippi in August 1955, when he was kidnapped, beaten and shot for allegedly whistling at a white woman.
Two white men, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, were found not guilty of Till’s murder by an all-white jury in September 1955. However, they later admitted to the killing in an interview with Look Magazine, notes the AP.

You would think democrats would have honored him over their faux fawning over the criminal George Floyd.

I suspect this is just more empty virtue signaling on the lefts part.

As always, you are mistaken.

 

[SamInAZ]

It's just pandering, as usual. The idea of a memorial for Till itself doesn't bother me at all...the timing & the obvious motives do.

How about putting that money towards something that will actually benefit black americans in their actual day-to-day lives, Pedo Pete...ahem, I mean President Biden?

Just sayin'....

 

[Papageorgio]

As always, you are mistaken.

After all the racist statements Biden has said over the decades you believe this is heartfelt?More heartfelt than LBJ?

 

[BlueGin]

As always, you are mistaken.

Floyd was a convenient distraction for democrats to use in their political theatre during COVID. Nothing more.

Oh Count On It. DeathSentence will have shit fit for sure.

Good thing they described who who he was.....Hell, how about another 4-day holiday the taxpayer has to foot the bill over.

How come every time some civil-rights person is honored it costs the tax-payer money?

Because BLM uses their I’ll gotten gains on themselves and has no money left for honorary statutes or programs in honor of historical figures?

Yes.....he was brutally beaten and murdered by democrats.....and the murderers were given not guilty verdicts by the all democrat party jury.......will that be on the plaque placed on the statue?

They have been trying to ignore his death since it was democrats who murdered him, and democrats on the jury who gave the murderers not guilty verdicts........

The democrats have been racists sacks of crap since the party was founded by two racists....the only thing that changed is they now accept racists of all skin colors into their party leadership......like barak obama, the friend of louis farakhan, jeremiah wright and al sharpton.....racists and anti-semites one and all...

 

[Blaster]

If they do build a monument to Till then they should restore all the monuments they had removed.

 

[BlueGin]

Good point. They even vandalized statues of black civil war soldiers.

 

[2aguy]

If they do build a monument to Till then they should restore all the monuments they had removed.

They will never put up the statues to the democrat party soldiers who fought to keep slavery.......the democrat party is doing their best to scrub their history........they think they can put up Emmet Till's statue because no one will look at the democrats having murdered him.............

Don't be surprised it they tell us that Trump actually used a time machine to murder that boy....
