About the film
Till is a profoundly emotional and cinematic film about the true story of Mamie Till Mobley’s relentless pursuit of justice for her 14 year old son, Emmett Till, who, in 1955, was brutally lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. In Mamie’s poignant journey of grief turned to action, we see the universal power of a mother’s ability to change the world.
MLK Celebration Week
In conjunction with Ohio University’s MLK Celebration week, Reverend Wheeler Parker Jr. is the cousin and best friend of the late Emmett Till. He is also the last living witness to the kidnapping of Till. His memoir, “A Few Days Full of Trouble,” published by Random House, will be released January 10, 2023. The pursuit of justice in the lynching and brutal murder of his best friend and cousin on August 28, 1955 has been a central focal point of his mission and ministry for years. His journey to justice has included a relentless advocacy for truth, as he has been deeply disappointed by the many erroneous news, books and documentary reports that have been produced surrounding Till’s case. He has carried this commitment as a truth-bearer, with a message of love, forgiveness and reconciliation. Click here to view Ohio University’s MLK Celebration Week events.
