Kamala Harris: "Our history as a nation is born of tragedy and triumph. Of struggle and success. That is who we are. And as people who love our country, as patriots, we know that we must remember and teach our full history, even when it is painful. Especially when it is painful."
Emmett Till's cousin, Rev Wheeler Parker Jr: "It's been quite a journey for me from darkness to the light, when I sat with my family on the night of terror when Emmett was taken from us, taken to be tortured, brutally murdered...back then I could never imagine a moment like this"
Biden on Emmett Till: "When I was preparing my remarks, I found myself trying to temper my anger. I can't fathom what it must have been like. It's hard to believe he was [14] years old. I know no matter how much time has passed... it's hard to relive this. It brings it all back."
