President Joe Biden will create a national monument in honor of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.
Till's murder in Mississippi helped spark the civil-rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
The monument locations will consist of a site in Chicago and two sites in rural Mississippi.
Bryant and Milam then tortured and lynched the teenager before throwing his body into the Tallahatchie River.
In March 2022, Biden signed into law the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act, which made lynching a federal hate crime for the first time in US history.
