About Priscilla

I am a relative of Emmett Louis Till. My Great Grandmother, Ella Smith and Mamie Till's Grandfather George Smith were sister and brother. They were the children of Laura Tolliver-( originally Taliefero ) and John Smith who married in 1852. My Great Grandmother, Elle "Nell" Smith married Henry Williams. My Grandfather, George Marcus Garvey Williams was one of eight children from their union. My Grandfather, George Marcus Garvey Williams married Josephine Blunt and mother Gloria Jean Blount-Williams was the second born of their union.

The foundation was created due to facts that the Civil Rights Division, FBI, and the United State's Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Mississippi did not investigate properly and closed the case without a federal prosecution of Bryant. Emmett was abducted and murdered and the government did little with the overwhelmingly of evidence to proscute Bryant. Emmett's mother, Mamie was robbed of time and a life rich in love from family and community and nothing can take away the pain of such a loss. Therefore there's a need to bring attention to a variety of concerns and increases in the numbers of racial incidents and hate crimes that continue today. Even the election of former President Barack Obama, immigration controversy, and economic situation, It has become nearly impossible to keep track of hate organizations and the shocking rise in brutal attacks directed against individuals because they are Black, Latino, Asian, Disabled, Gay, or Women.

The Foundation can be very instrumental by creating oversight committees that prosecute perpetrators of racial crimes and injustices.

My reason for running for United Senator 2026 I am running for United States Senator to help shape and enact laws that promote social justice and Civil Rights protections at a National level in Mississippi that will address historical and ongoing inequalities, while representing marginalized communities that work towards an equitable society. Also, to ensure that the perspectives and needs of our communities are represented with the federal government contributing to a more inclusive political dialogue...

Thanks,
Priscilla Williams Till
