Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
In 1955, a 14 year old boy named Emmett Till was brutally murdered in Money, Mississippi. The white men who murdered him killed him for being Black. Emmett Till's mother chose to have an open casket funeral, and show the world what had been done to her son. Despite the killers being acquitted in court, the story of Emmett Till and the jarring images of his funeral shocked the nation and were a vital catalyst in turning the civil rights movement into a nationwide phenomenon

It was a horrible and tragic death. White supremacy kills and destroy. I lost a cousin to a hate crime. In my hometown, same age as Emmett.
People, when you're seeing these lawmakers passing the bills banning CRT, you're seeing white supremacy trying to destroy this type of information. You have to be uncomfortable, in order to handle the truth.
Black American History, is the truthest history of America. Remember. Remember.

I think a detail the video left out was that the body of Emmett Till was also burned and set fire to along with shooting and hanging him, etc. Truly gruesome - but the video really got it-s point across from how chilling the event was with having only his voice as the only noise

The murder of Emmett Till was a most heinous crime. I only learned of it much later. I have seen some of the photos. This is an excellent presentation. I will have to try to visit the Museum of African American History, perhaps with some of my Godchildren.

I heard he would be 78 or so today. He could've still be alive today, along with most others who've lived during those times! It's wild! How so many years and days pass, and yet the past, is still only recent. Indeed, only a few miles away.

Very significant event in civil rights, and important to understand in the history of america. Because this remains one of the foremost lessons that needs to be taught and understood in the world. Thank you.

my grandfather and his mother (my great grandmother) actually went to the funeral. it is something that has stayed with him his entire life and a story he tells us all. thank you for making this video!

My school taught us about the murder of Emmett Till, but not about Mamie. The more I learn about her, the more convinced I am she should be as much of a household name as Rosa Parks and MLK.

I didn-t realize that happened on 1955. My dad was born in April of that year and will be 67 this year. I-m 30 years old this year. It-s crazy how recent this was. I never thought about that. Wow

It-s sad too because they published a book about it. I still don-t have the heart to watch the Hulu series. Now there-s the Emmett Till Anti Lynching Law that-s going to be passed.
