Till: Il coraggio di una madre

The movie "Till" is a biographical drama about the murder of Emmett Till and the activism of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley who pursued justice after her son's death. The movie does have a strong theme that addresses the issues of racism and segregation in the United States. While it may contain some cliches, they serve to emphasize the situation of black people in northern states like Chicago and the racism and segregation they faced in southern states like Mississippi.

The second part of the movie portrays the pain and struggle of Emmett's mother, Mamie Till-Bradley, as she searches for justice for her son's murder. Mamie becomes a prominent defender and activist for the black movement, using her personal tragedy to bring attention to the larger issues of racism and injustice.

It is indeed concerning that in the 21st century, issues such as the resurgence of white supremacy groups and the political climate under the Trump administration still persist. The passage of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act in 2022, under the Biden administration, makes lynching a federal hate crime, is a significant step towards addressing this issue. However, it is indeed disheartening that it took 65 years for this legislation to be passed. It is important to continue to work towards creating a more just and equitable society for all people.

While many of us are familiar with the stories of Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and recently George Floyd, the significance of Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, is often overlooked. Their impact on the civil rights movement was profound and deserves to be recognized. This movie is a very good start.
