Biden to set up national monument honoring Emmett Till: report
Danielle Wallace

President Biden will reportedly establish a national monument this week to honor Emmett Till, the Black teen from Chicago whose 1955 lynching while on vacation in Mississippi helped galvanize the civil rights movement.

A White House official, who spoke on condition on anonymity, reportedly told the Associated Press that Biden will sign a proclamation on Tuesday to create the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument across three sites in Illinois and Mississippi. Tuesday is the anniversary of Emmett Till's birth in 1941.

CBS News also reported Saturday it had learned in advance of Biden's planned announcement Tuesday.

Till's mother's insistence on an open casket to reveal how her 14-year-old son had been brutalized and Jet magazine's decision to publish photos of his mutilated body contributed to the rousing of the civil rights movement.

Yep.

Makes sense,given Biden's long history of being friendly with blacks,and inviting them into his home for dinner.

(sarcasm warning!)

What happened to Emmett Till was horribly tragic and racist. What kind of mindset causes people to do that to somebody over something so trivial?

However, having said that, I do agree that this is pandering

More than likely a suitable spot will be opening up in Jacksonville Fl for the this new shrine to black oppressions by whitey..

Pandering is what pro politicians do best. It's what keeps them in office.

This guy doesn't deserve a national monument.
Can there be any question about which race in America is being pushed upon the rest of us?

It's the "DNC Race",and they regularly con the black race into doing their dirty work for them by pretending to be their friends and protectors.

This will change the very day the Dims get total dictatorial control over the nation,including voting. When that day happens,it will once again be "blacks to the back of the bus".

I think Trayvon "Skittle's" Martin would be a better choice.  Or maybe  Saint George of Fentanyl.  Heroic figures from the new face of black oppression.  Ask a BLM supporter who Emmitt Till was and you'll get a blank stair.

Are there any other national monuments for alleged victims of crime who never actually accomplished anything in their lives besides becoming the victim of a crime?

Remember, these are the same general groups who tore down the Frederick Douglass statue.

Yes, yes they are.  He was an Uncle Tom before there was an uncle Tom.

I don't turn on the tv.
Well, I make an exception... but only for Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.
During commercials, the sound is OFF, and I have my laptop open so I don't have to look at them.

But when WofF is done, I turn off the tv again.
There's only one television in the house -- none upstairs at all.
I don't need it any more.

You have no idea what you are missing by not watching satellite tv. I have access to hundreds of channels and can watch any  of them any time I want,day or night. Right now I am bing-watching the first few seasons of "Criminal Minds" because I missed them when they were first broadcast. Kinda freaky to see the usual cast I am used to watching,suddenly show up 20 years younger.

There is so much good programming at your fingertips 24/7 it is flat impossible to view it all. I am pretty much a shut-in at this time due to physical problems related to cancer and cancer treatment,and I know this because I have tried.

And the best news is,you will never miss a current program because you are watching an old program because it is there,any time you want it.

I have nothing against current programming,but am just too busy trying to watch shows I missed to pay any attention to it. Haven't even watched the news or other local programming in years,and I get the weather report any time I want it on my computer.

I do most of my shopping on my computer,too. It is a 45 minute drive to the nearest town  to buy anything I might need or want,but I can order it from home from Amazon and have it delivered to my door. No more standing in line or circling a parking lot and waiting for a handicapped parking space to come free.

Hell,I even download free books to read on my tablet. I like to read while I am eating.
