President Joe Biden plans to name a new national monument next week after Emmett Till, a White House official told CNN, honoring the Black teenager whose murder in 1955 helped galvanize the civil rights movement.

Biden will designate the monument on Tuesday, which would have been Till’s 82nd birthday.

“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 said.

The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument will be centered in Illinois and Mississippi, the states where Till was from and killed, respectively.

Good. Now school children from anti-woke State can travel there and learn about Emmett Till once their respective governors likely remove reference to his lynching from history textbooks

Going to need to hire people to be there 24/7 to protect it the locals are going to try and destroy it or shoot it up like they do the signs.

Biden has done a lot.

If we weren’t so polarized and people weren’t focused on age, he’d have approval in the high 50s.

very cool move on his part, we need more national monuments to teach ppl our history, ppl r too stupid and uninformed these days

A monument partly in Chicago and partly in Mississippi.   Are there other monuments that include sites in non-contiguous states, or is this a first?

The more he's attacked, I find he's being attacked unfairly.  I'm not a huge fan, but he's certainly doing some things that are well overdue.  And at the end of the day, I still believe he genuinely cares more about the working class and the poor much more than any of the opponents do.

There’s a couple units of the NPS that are:

Klondike Gold Rush NHP: AK, WA
Gulf Islands National Seashore: FL, MS

World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument covered AK, CA, and HI (2008-2019), but was disestablished and replaced by separate monuments in each of the three states.

The memorial sign marking the site near where his body was found was riddled with bullets on more than one occasion

Enmitt Till death verified how inhumane Chain gangs were Blk men were lynched and sent to Chain Gangs without Public Defender by Dixiecrats Judges in the S until 1955 because they whistled at white females or accused of it

The majority of blks were in the S til 1948 and Public Defender and Miranda rights 1965 by WO Douglas , but on the N R judges that were moderate like Nixon gave blks Public Defender's


You couldn't deny a charge they had no security cameras if a white man accused a negro of something burglary or whistling at white female they were guilty.

That's why Gideon was freed he was accused of something wrongly based on insufficient evidence not based on Security, I remember in 80s some blk men were just accused of theft wrongly and Burglary is a felony not misdemeanor

White females are 55/45 D that's why polls have changed since Affirmative Action be ause White females helped blk men thru the Underground Railroad

This should be a prominently featured inscription at the monument.
