Biden establishes Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument amid ongoing debates over teaching race in America

President Biden designated a national monument at three sites in Mississippi and Illinois honoring Emmett Till and his mother Mamie Till-Mobley.
The monument tells the story of Till's 1955 lynching and the role it played in galvanizing the civil rights movement.
The designation comes as Republican-led states seek to restrict education on racism, slavery, and Black history.
Biden and Harris denounced efforts to "erase history" and emphasized the importance of facing the truth about America's past.
The monument will be funded and protected by the federal government and aims to preserve the legacy of Till and his mother.
