We made history together! After years of tireless advocacy, a #ParkForTill is finally a reality. The site will forever ensure the world has another opportunity to learn Emmett Till’s story and experience Mamie Till-Mobley’s legacy.

This new national park site will protect the following important historic sites in Mississippi and Illinois that are key to understanding the story of this injustice:

• The Tallahatchie County Courthouse in Sumner, Mississippi where the trial for Emmett Till’s murder was held and where his killers went free after only 67 minutes of jury deliberations.

• Roberts Temple Church of God In Christ in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, where Emmett Till’s open-casket funeral was held.

• Graball Landing on the banks of the Tallahatchie River in Glendora, Mississippi, where Emmett Till’s maimed and disfigured body may have been pulled from the water.
