The Emmett Till Interpretive Center has purchased the barn where Emmett Till was lynched to develop into a public memorial. Read more about the barn here.

The Emmett Till Interpretive Center preserves the story and sacred sites of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley. Through narrative, education, and memorialization, we invite people everywhere to confront the realities of 1955 and pursue reconciliation and repair—sparking a future rooted in truth, dignity, and democratic values.
