In honoring Emmett Till, we also honor Mamie Till-Mobley’s radical act of truth-telling, which laid bare the brutal cost of American racism and ignited a movement that continues to burn. His sacrifice became our seed which continues to grow, bearing the fruits of divine purpose and pride for the coming generations. From Memory to Movement: Emmett at 85, is a sacred gathering of artistic voices committed to legacy, justice and the transformative power of art. It asks viewers not only to look back but to see forward—to imagine a future where Black life is not only grieved, but cherished, protected and free.

Presented by Blanc Gallery in partnership with the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley Institute
