Smart Phone App
-
The Emmett Till Memory Project is a website and smartphone app designed to commemorate the death and memory of Emmett Till.
-
Developed in collaboration with the Till family and a range of scholars, the ETMP focuses on the 17 most-important and most-vandalized sites in the Delta. It provides expert-vetted narratives, historical photographs, site specific archival documents, and GPS directions to the next site: everything the student or tourist needs.
-
As the ETMP grows, it will include sites in Chicago, Till’s hometown.
