520    "Take a drive through the Mississippi Delta today and 
       you'll find a landscape dotted with memorials to major 
       figures and events from the civil rights movement. Perhaps
       the most chilling are those devoted to the murder of 
       Emmett Till, a tragedy of hate and injustice that became a
       beacon in the fight for racial equality. The ways this 
       event is remembered have been fraught from the beginning, 
       revealing currents of controversy, patronage, and racism 
       lurking just behind the placid facades of historical 
       markers. In Remembering Emmett Till, Dave Tell gives us 
       five accounts of the commemoration of this infamous crime.
       In a development no one could have foreseen, Till's murder
       --one of the darkest moments in the region's history--has 
       become an economic driver for the Delta. Historical 
       tourism has transformed seemingly innocuous places like 
       bridges, boat landings, gas stations, and riverbeds into 
       sites of racial politics, reminders of the still-unsettled
       question of how best to remember the victim of this 
       heinous crime. Tell builds an insightful and persuasive 
       case for how these memorials have altered the Delta's 
       physical and cultural landscape, drawing potent 
       connections between the dawn of the civil rights era and 
       our own moment of renewed fire for racial justice." --
