Bill > HB4323

This bill amends the State Commemorative Dates Act, which is a law that designates specific days to be observed in Illinois. The key provision of this bill is to add a new section that designates July 25th of each year as "Emmett Till Day." This day will be observed throughout the state as a time to honor and remember Emmett Till, a young African American boy whose brutal murder in 1955 became a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement.
