Bring history to life with this immersive Living Museum Project based on Mississippi Trial, 1955 by Chris Crowe. In Voices of 1955, students step into the shoes of key historical and fictional figures connected to the Emmett Till case, performing original first-person monologues that blend literary analysis with historical empathy.
