Joe Biden has dedicated a new national monument to Emmett Till, whose violent lynching in 1955 helped jump start the Civil Rights Movement.
The second will be dedicated at Tallahatchie County Second District Courthouse, where Till’s murderers were acquitted by an all-white jury in September 1955.
Over the last year, Republicans have lead contentious efforts around the country to control education on sensitive topics, including black history. Specifically, the curriculum states that under slavery, ‘slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.’ In her remarks on Tuesday, Vice President Harris seemed to address DeSantis directly: ‘Today there are those in our nation who prefer to erase or even rewrite the ugly parts of our past, those who attempt to teach that enslaved people benefited from slavery.’
