EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See

National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
9 a.m., Thursday, January 9

WHAT: Join the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center for the premiere of its featured exhibition Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See.

PRESS RELEASE

The exhibition lifts the stories of a fun-loving child from Chicago whose life was brutally taken by a legacy of racial violence, and a mother’s bravery that refused to let her son die in vain. A centerpiece of the exhibition is a bullet-riddled, vandalized historical marker that both commemorates a tragedy and illustrates the ongoing scourge of racism.

Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See serves as a call to action to make a ripple for justice in your own community. Through these stories, Emmett and Mamie Till-Mobley remind us that we have much work to do in the fight against racial injustice and hatred. They also inspire a new generation that will repair past hatred and come together to build a bright future of peace and understanding.

The exhibition runs January 10 to April 6 and is included with admission.

WHEN: 10 a.m., Thursday, January 9

WHERE: National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
