US President Joe Biden has established a national monument to honour Emmett Till, the Black teenager whose 1955 lynching galvanised the civil rights movement in the United States.
Biden signed a proclamation honouring Till and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, during a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, which would have been Till’s 82nd birthday.

Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halkett reports from Washington, DC.
