Emmett Till Interpretive Center 158 North Court Street, Sumner, MS 38957

"Benjamin and I spent a full hour easily engaged in conversation. The gamut of our discussion was our understanding and views of the seemingly simple question: why? I was transported back to being in my freshman year and I were taking history classes from my favorite history teacher. As Benjamin spoke, I was fascinated and listened to virtually every word or idea like a human sponge. Unassuming in his gentle demeanor, you immediately get the sense that he's a Ph.D. In many ways, he exceeded many Ph.Ds. Benjamin, extraordinary! Vr Adam"

"Powerful and emotional experience. If you want to be a better human, take the time and immerse yourself in the history and the continued struggle for equal rights today."

"Highly recommend stopping at the center, the courthouse across the street and the other stops on the trail. It’s important history that needs to be reckoned with and the center does a powerful job of preserving it."

"We were so impressed with the two young people working at the center. They were so knowledgeable regarding the events of 1955 and eager to share. Standing in the courtroom was a moving experience and we were so thankful to have this experience. Do not miss this if you find yourself in the delta."

"Great place to learn about a very important part of our history as a nation. The Emmett Till Interpretive Center is right across from the restored courthouse and shares information about the murder of Emmett, the murder trial, and the reconciliation process the community has participated in with the apology to the family of Emmett Till."
