By Stacy M. Brown | NNPA - The white woman who testified that a Black teenager named Emmett Till had made inappropriate approaches toward her, which led to his lynching and murder in Mississippi in 1955, has died.
The White House hosts special screening of TILL, based on the true story of educator-turned-activist Mamie Till-Bradley for her murdered son.
The unveiling of the statue coincides with the release this month of "Till," a movie focusing on Mamie Till-Mobley's private trauma over her son's death.
