The South Side home of Emmett Till and his mother — where the boy was living when he was tortured and murdered during a 1955 trip to Mississippi — was granted city landmark status by the City Council on Wednesday as a group seeks to turn it into a museum. The protection for the building at 6427 S. St. Lawrence Ave. shields it from demolition or many alterations that would significantly change its look.
