U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday will honor Emmett Till, the Black teenager whose 1955 killing helped galvanize the Civil Rights movement, and his mother with a national monument across two states.

Till, 14 and visiting from Chicago, was beaten, shot and mutilated in Money, Mississippi, on Aug. 28, 1955, four days after a 21-year-old white woman accused him of whistling at her. His body was dumped in a river.

The violent killing put a spotlight on the U.S. civil rights cause after his mother, Mamie Till-Bradley, held an open-casket funeral and a photo of her son's badly disfigured body appeared in Black media.

The national monument designation across 5.7 acres (2.3 hectares) and three sites marks a forceful new effort by the President to memorialize the country's bloody racial history even as Republicans in some states push limits on how that past is taught.

"America is changing, America is making progress," said the Rev. Wheeler Parker Jr., 84, a cousin of Till's who was with the boy on the night he was abducted at gunpoint from the relatives' house they were staying at in Mississippi.

"I've seen a lot of changes over the years and I try to tell young people that they happen, but they happen very slow," Parker said on Monday in a telephone interview as he traveled from Chicago to Washington to attend the signing ceremony at the White House as one of approximately 60 guests.

Tuesday marks the 82nd anniversary of Till's birth in 1941. One of the monument sites is the Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ in Chicago, where Till's funeral took place.

The other selected sites are in Mississippi: Graball Landing, close to where Till's body is believed to be have been recovered; and Tallahatchie County Second District Courthouse, where two white men who later confessed to Till's killing were acquitted by an all-white jury.

Signs erected at Graball Landing since 2008 to commemorate Till's killing have been repeatedly defaced by gunfire.

Now that site and the others will be considered federal property, receiving about $180,000 a year in funding from the National Park Service. Any future vandalism would be investigated by federal law enforcement rather than local police, according to Patrick Weems, executive director of the Emmett Till Interpretive Center in Sumner, Mississippi.

Other such monuments include the Grand Canyon, Statue of Liberty and the laboratory of inventor Thomas Edison.

Biden, an 80-year-old Democrat, will likely need strong support from Black voters to secure a second term in the 2024 presidential election.

He screened a film recounting the lynching, "Till," at the White House in February. Last March, he signed into law a bipartisan bill named for Till that for the first time made lynching a federal hate crime.

A Republican field led by former President Donald Trump has made conservative views on race and other contentious issues of history a part of their platform, including banning books and fighting efforts to teach school children accounts of the country's past that they regard as ideologically inflected or unpatriotic.

"This is an amazing, teachable moment to talk about the importance of this story as an American story that everybody can share in now, particularly at a time when people are trying to rewrite history," said Christopher Benson, president of the non-profit organization the Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley Institute in Summit, Illinois.

“We have a memorial now that is not erasable. It can't be banned and it can't be censored, and we think that's a very important thing.”

I think there’s something ironic about how one of the things Kristen was told about Helio and why she should come back is the idea that the bad things that have happened to her wouldn’t have happened if she’d stayed Helio’s chosen one.

But like the very first time she died she was still with Helio. Through most of season one despite her questioning her faith she was with Helio. Some of the worst moments of her life happened in the name of Helio. Her parents essentially kicked her out and kind of disowned her in the name of Helio. Her own coach tried to kill her in the name of Helio. While she was still with Helio. If being with Helio would’ve stopped her from dying the second time then why didn’t it stop her the first time.

And like the most recent episode only proves that point because Buddy was supposed to be Kristen’s replacement, the new stand in chosen one for the salvation they longer have (because they chased her away. Because she wasn’t what they wanted her to be). And he still died. He was betrayed horribly and Helio didn’t help him at all, as far as we saw. There was no warning, no divine intervention on Helio’s part. And no matter how much the church or his grandpa wants to pretend he is he is no chosen one to be cherished and kept alive at all costs unless for the greater good. And unlike Kristen he can’t simply bring himself back from the dead.

If Helio was really all that great maybe he shouldn’t have let his two favorites die so horribly huh.

Руины старой мавровской церкви Святого Николая – Свети Никола.

Ruins of old Mavrovo church Saint Nicholas – Sveti Nikola.

Горный круглогодичный курортный городок Маврово уникален тем, что здесь есть две церкви, посвященные одному и тому же святому. Первая церковь, известная как Стара Св. Никола, Старый Святой Николай, был построена в 1850 году и служила священным местом около 100 лет, пока в 1953 году не была построена плотина и не было создано искусственное озеро- Маврово, по названию одноименной затопленной деревни , жителей котрой переселили на другое место. Местные говорят, что святой и сила Божья не позволят церкви полностью исчезнуть в водах Мавровского озера. Поскольку храм продолжает появляться, утверждают, что невозможно скрыть и забыть священное место.

В течение многих десятилетей старая церковь была частично затоплена озером, но засуха последних лет позволила добраться до церкви пешком. Ценные иконы из этого храма были временно перенесены в небольшую церковь, спрятанную на склоне холма -другую Мавровскую церковь, также посвященную Святителю Николаю, но известную как Римская церковь. Сейчас в ней сохранились иконостас, кресты, богослужебные книги и иконы из затопленной церкви.Существовали проекты возрождения старого храма, но от них решили отказаться.

The year-round mountain resort town of Mavrovo is unique in that there are two churches dedicated to the same saint. The first church, known as Stara St. Nikola, Old St. Nicholas, was built in 1850 and served as a sacred place for about 100 years, until a dam was built in 1953 and an artificial lake was created - Mavrovo, after the name of the flooded village of the same name, the residents of which were relocated to another place. Locals say that the saint and the power of God will not allow the church to completely disappear in the waters of Lake Mavrovskoe. As the temple continues to appear, it is argued that it is impossible to hide and forget the sacred place.

For many decades the old church was partially submerged by the lake, but the drought of recent years has made it possible to reach the church on foot. The valuable icons from this temple were temporarily moved to a small church hidden on the hillside - another Moorish church, also dedicated to St. Nicholas, but known as the Roman Church. Now it has preserved the iconostasis, crosses, liturgical books and icons from the flooded church. There were projects to revive the old temple, but they decided to abandon them.
