Emmett Till Sign In Mississippi Vandalized With Bullet Holes -- Again

Emmett Till Sign In Mississippi Vandalized With Bullet Holes — Again

The marker has been replaced twice since it first went up in 2007.

Vandals shot up a sign in northern Mississippi memorializing Emmett Till, a black teenager whose lynching in 1955 was a catalyst for the modern civil rights movement.

The historical site marks the area where Till’s body was recovered from the Tallahatchie River three days after he was murdered. At least four bullet holes pierced the marker on July 26, just 35 days after the sign was replaced a second time.
