Join us for a fireside chat with Christopher Benson, Board President of the Emmett Till Institute and the co-author of books with Mamie Till-Mobley and Reverend Wheeler Parker.
Benson will participate in a moderated discussion with a focus on the book he co-authored with Mamie Till-Mobley titled “Death of Innocence: The Story of the Hate Crime That Changed America”, an account of the historical significance of the 1955 lynching of Till-Mobley’s son, Emmett Till, and the winner of the 2003 Robert F. Kennedy Book Award Special Recognition. The talk will also feature a discussion of the book he co-authored with Reverend Wheel Parker Jr. titled “A Few Days Full of Trouble: Revelations on the Journey to Justice for My Cousin and Best Friend, Emmett Till”. The event will conclude with an author signing of those books, which will be available for purchase.
