Greenwood, Mississippi Unveils A Large Emmett Till Monument

GREENWOOD, MISSISSIPPI - OCTOBER 21: A statue of Emmett Till is unveiled on October 21, 2022 in Greenwood, Mississippi. 14-year old Emmett Till, a Black teenager in town from Chicago visiting family in August 1955, was accused of flirting with Carolyn Bryant, a white woman working at the shop. Till was later kidnapped from his uncle's home and murdered during a brutal, racist attack. His death is attributed to being the spark that ignited the civil rights movement. Today the nearby town of Greenwood will dedicate a statue of Till in the city's downtown. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
