Maryland's new hate crime warning system, the Emmett Till Alerts system,
named in honor of the 14-year-old killed in 1955 after being accused of whistling at a white woman, will act as a warning system if credible threats are made.
The alert system has three levels and aims to increase awareness of hate crimes. The Emmett Till Alerts will be sent to 167 Black elected statewide officials in Maryland along with national civil rights organizations, clergy members and other leaders. >>>
