The death of Emmett Till in Money, Mississippi has been an event that has had a unifying effect on Delta communities. According to local and national historians, events surrounding Emmett Till’s life and death continue to resonate.
To help in the healing process, the Emmett Till Memorial Commission was established in the early 21st century. The Sumner County Courthouse in Sumner, in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, where the murderers were acquitted, was restored and includes the Emmett Till Interpretive Center, which opened in 2012 in his honor.
Fifty-one (51) sites in the Mississippi Delta are memorialized as associated with Till. The Emmett Till Antilynching Act, a United States law which makes lynching a federal hate crime, was signed into law on March 29, 2022 by President Joe Biden.
