Summary
House Concurrent Resolution No. 12 would have the Mississippi Legislature formally express regret for the environment that enabled Emmett Till’s 1955 murder and for the subsequent acquittal of his killers. The resolution would also extend sympathy to Till’s family and encourage education about the civil‑rights era. The measure never left committee, so it did not become official state policy.
