MS HR7

Expresses the Mississippi House of Representatives' profound regret for the state's role in creating an environment that led to the murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till on August 28, 1955.

Apologizes for Mississippi's part in the acquittal of Emmett Till's murderers and offers deepest sympathy to his family for the deprivation of his life and constitutional protections.

References Carolyn Bryant's recent confession that her inflammatory story leading to Till's death was fabricated, establishing grounds for the state's apology.

Encourages remembrance and teaching of the Civil Rights Movement history, particularly Emmett Till's death and legacy of injustice, to prevent such tragedies from being forgotten or repeated.

Specifies that the resolution shall not be used as a basis for litigation and directs copies be distributed to state-elected officials, higher education commissioners, and civil rights organizations.
