Argo Community High School to honor Mamie Till-Mobley with sculpture

Mamie Till-Mobley, the mother of Emmett Till, will be honored Friday at her alma mater in southwest suburban Summit. Till-Mobley became an icon of the civil rights movement after her son was lynched in Mississippi in 1955. She graduated from Argo Community High School, which is holding a groundbreaking ceremony on Friday as it works to build a sculpture and memorial in her honor.
