Come and support for our stage presentation, “A Whistle in Mississippi: The Lynching of Emmett Till,” hosted by Local 1199 in alliance with Shades of Truth Theatre and Voza Rivers/New Heritage Theatre Group. The story of young Emmett Till as originally told by his mother, Mamie Till Bradley – one that resonated and became a catalyst for events that ignited the American Civil Rights Movement. The presentation will be held at the Local 1199 Auditorium, 310 West 43rd Street in Manhattan, New York.
 
Play Synopsis: In 1955, Emmett and his cousin, both from Chicago, went to visit family in Mississippi… according to several versions, Emmett whistled at a white woman and some say he grabbed her hand and asked her for a date; others say all he did was say ‘bye, baby’ as he left the store. Myths, lies and misinformation abound. Whistle in Mississippi…explores the impact of the brutal murder of Emmett Till and the powerful ripples of change that transformed our quest for the freedom into a struggle for humanity. The play also introduces a young boy whose vibrant personality and charismatic disposition always left a wrinkle in the forehead and a smile on your face.
