The story of Emmett Till was silenced for over 50 years after his brutal murder on August 2, 1955.  Discover the untold history of the injustice that followed the fourteen-year-old Emmett’s trip to buy candy at Bryant’s Grocery in Money, Mississippi, where he whistled at the white store clerk.  In this presentation, retired Portage Public School history teacher Jim Herm will share his research into the post-Civil War South, the legacy of Emmett Till, and the start of the Civil Rights movement.  Join us on April 23, 2025 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in the Judith A. Stillion Conference Room.
