About Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument
The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument is a United States national monument that honors Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American teenager who was abducted, tortured, and lynched in Mississippi in 1955, and his mother, Mamie Till, who became an advocate in the Civil Rights Movement.
