A Mississippi community with an elaborate Confederate monument will unveil a larger-than-life statue of Emmett Till, not far from where white men kidnapped and killed the Black teenager over accusations that he flirted with a white woman in a country store.
The unveiling of the statue coincides with the release this month of "Till," a movie focusing on Till-Mobley's private trauma over her son's death and her development into a civil rights activist.
