Emmett Till Memorial at Say Their Names Memorial, Minneapolis

Emmett Till Memorial in Minneapolis
Emmett Till Memorial in Minneapolis.

The Say Their Names Memorial in Minneapolis features temporary markers honoring victims of racial injustice, including Emmett Till. Till, a 14-year-old Black boy from Chicago, was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955 after allegedly whistling at a white woman. His death and the subsequent acquittal of his murderers by an all-white jury galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. The memorial, located near George Floyd Square, serves as a space for remembrance and reflection on the ongoing struggle for racial equality.
