About this Event

70th Commemoration Event
Movie Screening: Till
Talk with Producer/Co-writer Keith Beauchamp
Moderated by Alysia Dempsey

Join us for a powerful evening honoring the legacy of Emmett Till on the 70th anniversary of his tragic death. The event will feature a screening of Till, a poignant film that tells the story of Mamie Till-Mobley’s unwavering pursuit of justice after the brutal lynching of her 14-year-old son in 1955. Her courageous stand helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement and continues to inspire generations.

Following the screening, stay for an engaging conversation with Keith Beauchamp, the film’s producer and co-writer, whose investigative work was instrumental in reopening Till’s case. The discussion will be moderated by Alysia Dempsey and will delve into the making of the film, its historical impact, and the continuing fight against racial injustice.
