  • Summary

  • The brutalized body of 14-year-old Emmett Till was published in Jet magazine at the insistence of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley. Mamie wanted the horrific photograph of her son’s lynched body to be displayed for the world to see, to expose America to its own barbaric acts of racial terror. As such, Emmett’s death and Mamie’s actions afterwards would ignite a crucial moment in the civil rights movement, changing the course of history forever.

    Orion Pictures’ film Till tells the story of this mother’s loss and her determination to uphold her son’s legacy. Till Today is the standalone, five-part Audible Original companion podcast that explores what would come of Mamie’s work. White House correspondent and journalist April Ryan guides listeners through each episode to find out what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what we can learn from our collective past.

    On this road to discovery, Ryan enlists political leaders such as attorney Ben Crump, cultural leaders like #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, renowned actor, co-star, and producer of Till, Whoopi Goldberg, and the lead actress who beautifully plays Mamie, Danielle Deadwyler.

    Whether you’ve seen the film or have yet to experience it, this podcast will appeal to listeners interested in the fight for justice in America who want to be inspired by everyday people fighting for change in their communities.
