III AS MR. CRIM THREE.

>>> A TOURING EXHIBIT , NOW THE DUSABLE MUSEUM OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY, IS AIMED AT HELPING CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THE TRAGEDY AND LEGACY OF EMMETT TILL'S LIFE.

FOR PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTIFACTS, THE EXHIBIT SHOWS HOW YOUNG HILL AND HIS MOTHER'S SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS FUELED THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, AND HOW THE EVENTS STILL RIPPLE THROUGH AMERICA TODAY.

>> WE ARE SO HAPPY TO WELCOME THIS EXHIBIT FROM THE INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.

MOST CHICAGOANS KNOW THE STORY OF EMMETT TILL , BUT I THINK THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT THE STORY HAS BEEN PACKAGED FOR YOUNGER VIEWERS .

SORT OF HIGH-LEVEL ABOUT THIS CHILD WHO WAS , WAS MURDERED, AND WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT.

AND REALLY, THE IMPACT OF AND ITS MURDER ON THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

AND WHAT WE CAN DO TODAY TO TRY TO MAKE GOOD HISTORY GOING FORWARD, RIGHT?

THESE ARE STORIES, YOU KNOW, SIMILAR TO THE STORIES THAT YOU'LL FIND FOR CHILDREN UP AT THE ILLINOIS HOLOCAUST MUSEUM AND EDUCATION CENTER.

WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HIM AT A YOUNG AGE, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE RESULT OF HATRED, OF RACIAL HATRED?

IF WE'RE EVER GOING TO LEARN HOW TO ACT DIFFERENTLY AND TREAT EACH OTHER DIFFERENTLY , THEN WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND OUR HISTORY , AND WHERE WE COME FROM.

THESE STORIES OF COURAGE AND, AND DEEP IMPACT ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO TELL, AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S 50 YEARS LATER AFTER HIS MURDER, IT'S STILL RELEVANT .

AND WE CAN STILL LEARN FROM IT, AND HOPEFULLY DO THINGS BETTER IN THE FUTURE.
