Remembering the Past While Educating the Future

Emmett Till childhood home now an official city landmark!

After surviving many years against the test of time, the red brick two-flat apartment building at 6427 S. St. Lawrence Ave. was purchased by Blacks in Green, which will begin a three-year restoration to return the house to what it looked like when Emmett Till left Chicago for Mississippi.

The Chicago City Council named the house a historic landmark in January. At the July 25 celebration, the house received its plaque honoring it as a landmark.
