Our Civil Rights Trail tour began with the Emmett Till Memorial – a good place to start, for several reasons.

First, the murder of Emmett Till launched the Civil Rights movement.

Second, our destination for the night, The Emmett Till Intrepid Center was a scenic Sunday drive from Dad's house in Decatur, Mississippi.

Third, it was Spring – the most beautiful season in Mississippi – when it is customary to reflect on new beginnings, redemption, and reconciliation – these are ideal conditions to immerse in the life-and-death story of Emmett Till.
