WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden is set to designate a new national monument on Tuesday memorialising the brutal 1950s lynching of Emmett Till, with the White House framing the symbolic act as part of a fight against resurgent racism. The monument, sited in several locations, will remember the 14-year-old Black boy tortured and murdered by white men in 1955 after he allegedly whistled at a white shopkeeper's wife in Mississippi. His mother Mamie Till-Mobley, also honoured in the memorial, became an activist, and is widely viewed as having helped to spark the US civil rights movement.
