Rock To Ripples: The Legacy of Emmett Till | Freedom Day

  • Northwest African American Museum 2300 South Massachusetts Street Seattle, WA, 98144 United States (map)

When you walk through the ‘Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See’ exhibit, you will learn about changemakers, and specific actions that changemakers take to improve their community. If you throw a rock in the water, the ripples that you see in the water are small waves carrying away the energy from where you threw the rock.

After you have toured the exhibit, join us for a 40 minute family activity ‘Rock To Ripples’, where participants will create a visual reminder of actions families can take to make a difference, spread a positive message, and reflect on experiences within the exhibit. Participants will be given rocks to paint and decorate to their choosing that will have a message of hope and encouragement so they too can join Mamie’s ripples for justice. We will be hosting a morning workshop at 11AM and an afternoon workshop at 1PM so all visitors will have an opportunity to participate.
