The monument will protect places that are central to the story of Till's life and death at age 14, the acquittal of his white killers and his mother's activism.
I love that apparently absolutely nothing in the world can ever be done out of altruism or a sense of right, or even be good.
National monuments require presidential approval. Normally, the president or his press secretary announces this because virtually nothing in the White House gets done ANYWAY without someone in the press knowing about it in our modern age. So yes, maybe they are doing it for influence or donor money. But can we not just say “this is a good thing” and move on with our fucking lives? Can ONE SINGLE GODDAMN THING be good without qualifiers?

Ya. This monument is a good thing. A very important thing. I never said otherwise…
