The Xenia Area Community Theater (X*ACT) is currently producing an Ohio premiere, The Face of Emmett Till. In 1955, Mamie Till put her only son, 14-year-old Emmett on a train from Chicago to visit family in Mississippi. He was kidnapped and was brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman. Decades later, Mamie Till Mobley co-wrote a play about her struggle.
