Emmett Till Memory Project vs Be the Bridge

The Emmett Till Memory Project is your complete guide to the legacy of Till’s murder. The app takes users to the most important sites in the Mississippi Delta and beyond. Each historical location on the map includes expert-vetted narratives, access to relevant archival documents, and a collection of historic and contemporary photographs. The ETMP teaches users what happened at each site in 1955 and the sites have been commemorated since 1955. By telling Till’s story from the perspective of each site, the app encourages users to wrestle with different versions of  Till’s story and think critically about how that story has been passed on.

Welcome to the Be the Bridge app! Be the Bridge was founded in 2016 to help foster needed dialogue in brave spaces around racial injustices. Since then, we have remain committed to pursuing racial justice and increasing racial literacy. We do all of our work on our values of truth telling, humility, respect, confession, grace, justice, and reconciliation. In the BTB app, you are invited to: - Learn about BTB Community Groups. - Access guides, resources, and courses through the BTB Academy. - Connect with our world-wide community of bridge builders through BTB Connect. - Listen to the transformational conversations on the Be the Bridge Podcast. Our vision is that people and organizations are aware and respond to the racial brokenness and systemic injustice in our world, that we are no longer conditioned by a racialized society but are grounded in truth, and that all are equipped to flourish. This app is designed for individuals, small groups, and organizations who want to engage deeply and grow together.
