The murder of Emmett Till remains fresh in our memory as evidenced by recent articles in the Clarion Ledger by a variety of authors particularly since the reopening of the case by the U.S. Attorney General. Patrick Weems of the Emmett Till Interpretive Center will facilitate the panel discussion that will include: 1) Devery S. Anderson, author of Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Move; 2) Dave Tell, from the University of Kansas, will present on his Emmett Till Memory Project and 3) Wheeler Parker, Till’s cousin who was with him at the time of his abduction.
