Till is a profoundly emotional and cinematic film about the true story of Mamie Till Mobley's relentless pursuit of justice for her 14 year old son, Emmett Till, who, in 1955, was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. In Mamie's poignant journey of grief turned to action, this film shows the universal power of a mother's ability to change the world. Immediately following the film, join us for the lively panel discussion. ADMISSION IS FREE, BUT REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!
