Memorial celebrates Mamie and Emmett Till
Sculptor Sonja Henderson had a grand plan to sculpt common people who changed the world and elevate them in bronze. A memorial to Mamie Till-Mobley and Emmett Till was part of that plan. A sculpture of Mamie Till-Mobley, created by Sonja, now sits at Argo Community High School in Summit, Ill. “Mamie Till-Mobley was an incredible visionary and human rights leader. I just feel like everything in my life has led to this point,” Sonja said
