Biden signs proclamation to create Emmett Till national monument
President Biden on Tuesday signed a proclamation creating the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument. Till was a teenager when he was abducted and lynched by a group of white men in the 1950s. His mother pushed for her son's funeral services to keep the casket open so the world could see what happened to him. The incident helped spark the Civil Rights movement.
