Union Carpenters Work On Museum Honoring Emmett Till’s Legacy

What a turnout we had for demo day on a new project in Chicago restoring the childhood home of Civil Rights martyr Emmett Till into a museum commemorating the Till Family legacy of courage and forgiveness.

Union carpenters pose in front of the Emmett Till home and museum.

Working with other trades, our members will be installing new windows at the restored building that will house a rich array of programming, ranging from education to performance while meeting the highest standards for net-zero energy performance and construction.

You’ll be hearing more about this project in the coming weeks. Thanks to everyone who came out to lend a hand!
