POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It has been a busy week! So much to come. Reverend Parker and I are profoundly grateful for the contribution of “The Amanpour Hour” in helping us bring our message about Emmett Till’s legacy to the world. We are grateful to Christiane Amanpour’s graciousness, as always, and the care of her team in this discussion of the upcoming book and exhibition.

The interview is live on August 1st at 11am EST on @cnn after first airing yesterday

The segment opens with a salute to Amy Goodman’s prodigious work. I look forward to speaking on @democracynow on August 4th!

Please save the date for the opening of the exhibition on September 10 in Chicago as we do our part to honor the work of honoring Emmett Till’s life and legacy, and his role in the ongoing work of truth-telling in America’s democracy.

Day two visiting EJI's Legacy Sites: The Legacy Museum and Freedom Monument and Sculpture Park. No pictures are allowed in the museum or sculpture park, so I encourage all to experience it in person. The Museum is located on the site of a cotton warehouse and tells an in-depth narrative of enslavement in America to the current mass incarceration crisis. The National Monument to Freedom features more than 120,000 unique surnames recorded in the 1870 census after Emancipation, representing the names of more than 10 million enslaved people in America and their descendants. Templeton, Hollins, and Egan are all on the wall. Ended the day meeting with the most remarkable leader of @eji_org Bryan Stevenson. #legacymuseum #equaljusticeinitiative
