On Saturday, KC Scholars held a private screener of “Till”, the movie which tells Emmett Till’s story from his mother Mamie Till-Mobley’s perspective, where they announced a new “$50,000 scholarship in the name of Ralph Yarl.”

The new scholarship “complements the work of the KC Scholars organization,” whose motto is “[a] good-paying job and education should be available to everyone.”
