Imagine the courage it took to say: Let them see.

69 years since the murder of Emmett Till, we reflect on our nation’s reckoning with hate – and one mother’s absolute courage to find purpose in pain.

At a time when there are those who seek to ban books and bury history, let me be crystal clear:

Darkness and denialism can hide much, but they erase nothing. We should know everything: the good, the bad, and the truth of who we are as a nation.

That’s what great nations do.

61 years after the March on Washington, the Biden-Harris Administration remains as committed as ever to our Day One fight for equity, opportunity, and justice for all Americans.

We will keep marching toward the promise of a more perfect union. pic.twitter.com/bBgJCzawuk

Every student deserves access to a high-quality education, no matter your race or ethnicity.

That's why, on my watch, we've clarified schools’ civil rights obligations, fought against book bans that erase history, and invested in school diversity and equal access to higher ed.

Show more =’s achieving the lowest Black and tied for the lowest Latino unemployment rate on record going back more than 50 years.

Still, we have much more to do.

61 years later, this day reminds us of how far we’ve come, where we need to go, and how far and how much longer the journey is.

And it reminds us that each of us must engage in the painstaking work of perfecting our union.

Show more =’s I’ve also used every tool at my disposal to protect the right to vote – directing an all-of-government effort to promote access to voting, signing the Electoral Count Reform Act into law, and mobilizing resources to provide Americans with access to voter registration services and nonpartisan information about elections.

Time; Seven years ago, Time YouTube shared an 8 minute and 18 seconds video that shows the imagines that Emmett Till’s mother let the world see to show what racists did to her son. It is graphic.
