Today I am thinking of the strength and courage of Emmett Till’s mother showing the world the injustice inflicted on her son.
I’m grateful the Senate finally passed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act and making this hateful act a federal crime.
JUST IN: After years of trying, a federal anti-lynching bill named after Emmett Till — and championed by Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., — is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk to sign after the Senate unanimously on Monday passed the measure.
