ETIC staff will take part in the annual Creative Arts & Scholarly Engagement (CASE) Festival at Jackson State University’s Margaret Walker Center. This year the festival will focus on the life and legacy of Emmett Till. Presentations will include poetry and spoken word, visual art, essays, and performing arts. “Due to the courage and tenacity of Mamie Till-Mobley, Emmett Till became an inspiration for young people of his generation to engage the emerging civil rights movement of the 1960s and demand that this nation live up to its ideals,” said Dr. Robert Luckett, the Margaret Walker Center’s Director. “Seventy years later, his life continues to inspire new generations, like the students at the CASE Festival, to fight for social justice and recognize the basic human dignity of all people.” Learn more and join us at the free and public festival at https://www.jsums.edu/margaretwalkercenter/2025/01/24/2025-case-festival/?blm_aid=99707078. . . . #ETIC #racialreconciliation #tellingthetruth #emmetttill #mamietill #mamietillmobley #rememberingemmetttill #spiritofemmetttill #rememberemmetttill #blacklivesmatter #justiceforemmetttill #endracism #racialharmony #racialjustice #history #blackhistory #USCivilRightsTrail #USCivilRights #CivilRights #civilrightsmovement #mississippi #mississippidelta #TillNationalPark @jacksonstateu @mwalkercenter @natasha_trethewey_official (fb)
