Members of Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church gather outside the church for a picnic following services for their 150th anniversary, Nov. 15, 2020, in Greenwood, Mississippi. The church has not held services since March due to COVID-19. Little Zion is visited by tourists from around the world due to its connection with blues legend Robert Johnson, who is buried in the church cemetery. It is located 6.8 miles from Bryant’s Grocery, where 14-year-old Emmett Till allegedly flirted with the shopkeepers wife in 1955 and was lynched, sparking the American Civil Rights Movement.
