Emmett Till Memorial In Mississippi Keeps Getting Shot At, So It’s Being Replaced With A Bulletproof Version

VISUAL Posted: July 30, 2019 7:31 am

“This will be the fourth sign that the [Emmett Till Memorial Commission] has placed at the site. The first was swiped in 2008, and no arrests were ever made in connection with the incident. The replacement marker was vandalized with bullets, more than 100 rounds over the course of several years. Just 35 days after it was erected in 2018, the third sign was shot at as well.” – Smithsonian Magazine
