State Rep. Kimberly du Buclet applauds President Joe Biden’s announcement this week that new national monuments will honor Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.
The new monument encompasses three poignant locations: Graball Landing near Glendora, Mississippi, where Till's body was recovered; Chicago's Roberts Temple Church of God, the site of Till's high profile, open casket funeral; and the Tallahatchie County Second District Courthouse in Sumner, Mississippi, where Till's murderers were acquitted.
