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.
If they actively enforce the rules on criminal charges against defacing a federal monument, then this will be a great honey trap for finding and arresting racist POS’s who come to shoot it up like they already do with the other Till grave monument.
I hadn’t heard of Emmett Till until maybe 5 years ago (thanks American education system). But I was blown away that people go out of their way to shoot up a monument to a brutally murdered INNOCENT child. Just sickening.

Not OP, I went in Pennsylvania and we absolutely did not learn about Emmett Till.
