@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.

This life-changing weekend honors the life and legacy of Emmett Louis Till, the 14-year-old Chicago boy whose brutal murder on August 28, 1955, ignited a global Civil Rights Movement and inspired the March on Washington. This history will not be erased. Now, more than ever, it is important that we remember and never forget the undeniable story and legacy of Emmett Louis Till and his mother, Mamie Till Mobley. "The casket will remain open" The Emmett Till Legacy Foundation (ETLF), together with Emmett Till Legacy Family Members of Emmett Till and Mamie Till Mobley, proudly announces the 71st Anniversary Commemoration Weekend and Educational Tour, taking place August 28–30, 2026, in Jackson, Mississippi, and communities throughout the Mississippi Delta.

From: The Family of Mrs. Johnnie Mae Chappell.... March 23, 2026 Will mark the 62nd Anniversary of Mrs Johnnie Mae Chappell who was brutally murdered for no reason other than she was a Black woman. On March 23, 1964, our nation lost a beautiful soul, a loving and hard working citizen, Johnnie Mae Chappell. As we commemorate this solemn 62nd anniversary, we honor her memory and renew our commitment to the ongoing fight against racialized violence, harassment and discrimination that persists to this day. Johnnie Mae Chappell, a devoted mother of ten, tragically lost her life at the hands of white supremacists while she walked along a roadside searching for her lost wallet in Jacksonville, Florida. Her senseless murder shocked the conscience of the nation and fueled the ongoing civil rights fight in America. Though her life was cut short, her spirit of resilience and determination continues to inspire generations. To honor Johnnie Mae Chappell's enduring legacy, the family and community will come together in remembrance and solidarity on When: March 23, 2026 at 6pm EST.

We invite all members of the community to join us in honoring the memory of Johnnie Mae Chappell and standing together against racism and injustice. Let us strive to create a world where she and all children can live free from fear and discrimination.
