statue in Pueblo, Colorado that honors both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Till.
The Greenwood monument consists of a 7 feet (2.1 m) tall bronze statue of Till on a 2 feet (0.61 m) tall granite base. Till is touching the brim of his hat and wearing a dress shirt, slacks, and a necktie.
Shortly after installation, it was noted that the plaque on the statue contained errors, including using the word "Legislator" instead of "Legislature" and the sentence "After being falsely accused of whistling at and touching a white woman, Emmett was kidnapped and murdered on August 28, 1955." Most research and eyewitness accounts do not dispute Till's whistling. As of July 2023, the plaque still contained errors.
