YoBuckStopsHereBiden will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the Black teen lynched in Mississippi
SilverserenIf they actively enforce the rules on criminal charges against defacing a federal monument, then this will be a great honey trap for finding and arresting racist POS's who come to shoot it up like they already do with the other Till grave monument.
lechatronI hadn’t heard of Emmett Till until maybe 5 years ago (thanks American education system). But I was blown away that people go out of their way to shoot up a monument to a brutally murdered INNOCENT child. Just sickening.
where did you go to school
Not OP, I went in Pennsylvania and we absolutely did not learn about Emmett Till.
In reality his story doesn’t play into the civil rights movement or anything else “important” so most classes skip it. It’s usually a general overview of segregation and Jim crow, the court case that established separate but equal. World war one, great depression, world war two, early cold war, then civil rights movement. I was taught Till in Florida though, they squeezed it in with civil rights movement.
