From #NPR:
Emmett Till and his mother were honored with the Congressional Gold Medal.
Till, 14, was tortured and murdered by two white men in MS during the summer of 1955. A white woman, the wife of one of the murderers, falsely accused him of flirting with her.
The medal will be on display at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. https://tinyl.io/7a4Q
