The alert will be named after Emmett Till, a Mississippi teenager who was murdered by white supremacists in 1955, for allegedly whistling at a white woman. His death was the catalyst for the modern-day Civil Rights movement.
Apostle Antonio Palmer, president of the United Black Clergy of Anne Arundel County and senior pastor of the Kingdom Celebration Center in Gambrills, Maryland, will join representatives from the CAAL, NAACP, CAST, ACLU, Connecting the Dots, United Black Clergy, and National Coalition of 100 Women Monday to discuss the new alert system, which will be designed to keep the community safe from racial attacks.
“We welcome anything that will ensure the safety of our community,” Apostle Palmer said.. “We believe the Emmett Till project has the potential to save lives.”
