[Michlib-l] Upcoming Event at MPL- The Legacy and Memory of Emmett Louis Till

[Mick Howey]

Hello Michlib-I,

Please join us at 6:30 PM on Monday, April 25, 2022 for The Legacy and
Memory of Emmett Louis Till: A Story of Geography, History and Racism.

Event description is below:

The story of Emmett Till was silenced for over 50 years after his brutal
murder on August 28, 1955. Since 2005, new information has been discovered
about what really took place after Emmett made the famous whistle to
Caroline Bryant after purchasing candy at Bryant’s Grocery in Money,
Mississippi.



Presenter Jim Herm will share his research into the post-Civil War South,
the legacy of Emmett Till, and the start of the Civil Rights movement. Jim
Herm is a resident of Otsego, Michigan and a retired Portage Public School
history teacher and counselor. He has visited many of the recently opened
historical sites that will be discussed in his presentation, which is
intended for listeners 15 and up.



Note: This event will be both in person at the Library and virtually via
Zoom.  Please indicate your preference by selecting the ticket type you
