Landmarks
Two blocks east is a historic landmark, the home of Emmett Louis Till & Mamie Till-Mobley. In 1955 Emmett, at the age of 14, was tortured and murdered by white supremacist in Money Mississippi after allegedly whistling at a woman. His trial and death were some of the catalysts in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s, with his federal case finally being closed on December 7th 2021 without any persecutions by the Department of Justice.
