@emmetttilllegacyfoundation On August 28, We held a National MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR EMMETT TILL & A “SAY THEIR NAMES” REMEMBRANCE OF ALL STOLEN LIVES at Myrlie's Garden in Jackson, MS, during the Emmett Till 71st Year Anniversary Commemoration weekend activities and Educational Tour. Participants around the world were invited to wear black and white, pause for a Moment of Silence and “Say Their Names” in remembrance, honoring Emmett Till and all stolen lives. Civil Rights Era Families, Impacted Families, advocates and supporters: Reena Evers-Everette - Daughter of Medgar Evers and Myrlie Evers Williams /Executive Director, The @mmei63 The Medgar & Myrlie Evers Institute Joined the Family of Emmett Till and attendees: @Dinelle Harden — Sister of Ronald Greene @big.creole.farmer Dennis Dahmer — Son of Vernon Dahmer Sr. Dennis Dahmer @uncle_bobby_x Cephus “Uncle Bobby X” Johnson -Cephus X Johnson Uncle of Oscar Grant Oakland, CA Attorney @jaribuhill Jaribu Hill Jaribu Hill Attorney and Founder, Mississippi Workers' Center for Human Rights and @bluheartbeat6 - Corey Boyd Ruff Advocate Minnesota, all provided remarks, Affirmations and prayers with family members of Emmett Till and the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation. The casket will remain open because the work is not finished. Emmett's tragic death at the tender age of 14, on August 28, 1955, became a defining catalyst of the modern Civil Rights Movement. The March on Washington memorial event being held in Washington, D.C. this weekend was first held on the 8th anniversary of Till’s murder, in 1963, a direct result of Emmett's tragic death which inextricably ties these two events together.
