EMMETT TILL MEMORIAL Emmett Till was an African American child who was tragically murdered by white men after he had supposedly whistled at a white woman. His death was a major influence on the Civil Rights movement.

This memorial was designed at the location of his murder, an old barn in Drew, MS.

>Reflective stone wall creating a mirror of the barn and expanding the pavillion infinitely >Copper posts lining the path progressively get smaller to showcase Till’s life coming to an end >Forget-me-not flowers lining the path thrive in the climate and reinforce the theme
