About the exhibit

Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See is a touring exhibit created in collaboration with the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley Institute, the Emmett Till Interpretive Center, the Till family, and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. It tells the story of Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley. The exhibit challenges visitors to make a ripple for justice in their own communities.

The exhibit tells five key stories:

• Emmett’s personal story

• How the brave actions of Emmett's mom, Mamie Till-Mobley, fueled the Civil Rights Movement

• How a community and family have worked to keep Emmett’s memory alive

• How the vandalized historical marker connects to us today

• How we can commit to social justice in our own communities
