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. The 71st Anniversary Commemoration also marks the 21st Anniversary of the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation, founded by family members of Mamie Till Mobley and Emmett Till to preserve their legacy, demand truth and justice, educate communities, and empower future generations. "This is a weight we are honored to carry and a promise we continue to keep to our Shero, Mamie Till Mobley. Emmett's death will not be in vain." -Deborah Watts cousin of Emmett Till and Mamie Till Mobley/ Co-Founder of Emmett Till Legacy Foundation Register Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/emmett-till-71st-anniversary-commemoration-weekend-aug-28-30-2026-tickets-1990317574443 For sponsorship opportunities, volunteer information, or registration details, please contact us.
