i wish i could say that those who murdered emmett till were brought to justice. but, sadly, and most unjustly, less than two weeks after emmett's body was buried, an all-white jury deliberated for less than an hour and issued a not guilty verdict. this despite the fact that there was ample eyewitness evidence to the contrary. despite a lack of immediate justice for this brutal murder, emmett's mother, mamie, never stopped drawing attention to her son's murder. as demonstrated by all of us here today, the till trial brought to light the brutality of the jim crow south. mr. speaker, s. 450 will honor emmett till and mamie till-mobley for the injustice that they suffered, the bravery shown, and the aftermath of this terrible incident in american history. so, mr. speaker, i support s. 450 and i urge my colleagues to support it as well. and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from california is recognized. ms. waters: i yield one minute to the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis. the
