Join us for a powerful evening honoring the legacy of Emmett Till on the 70th anniversary of his tragic death.

Her courageous stand helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement and continues to inspire generations.
Following the screening, stay for an engaging conversation with Keith Beauchamp, the film’s producer and co-writer, whose investigative work was instrumental in reopening Till’s case.
