The extraordinary story of Mamie Till, a mother whose profound grief transformed into a catalyst for change during one of the darkest periods in American history.

Mamie Till's life is a testament to the power of maternal love and the pursuit of justice. Her son, Emmett Till, became a tragic symbol of racial violence when he was brutally murdered at the age of 14 in Mississippi in 1955. Mamie's decision to display her son's mutilated body at his funeral exposed the brutality of racism in the Jim Crow South to the world, igniting a firestorm of outrage and galvanizing the civil rights movement.

We discover Mamie Till's unwavering determination to seek justice for her son, despite facing threats and intimidation. Her courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy inspired countless others to join the fight for equality and justice.
