Edit: Youve seen the picture underneath this one right? Thats him, Emmett Till was murdered, he had been beaten and his eye had been gouged out, before he was shot through the head and thrown into the river. There was no reason he was murdered, he was just playing in a yard (as far as i know anyway). This was the leading event to lead the American Civil Rights movement.
he whistled at a white women
Yeah he whistled at a white women, and in the middle of the night some men came to his folks house and took him. They took him to a barn where they torcherd him. They hack off half of his face, cut out his tongue and eyes, cut off one of his ears, cut off his genitals, took a gun and knocked out all his teeth( his mother mame till always loved his smile) shot him in his head, and wrapped barbed wire around his neck and through him in the river. Nobody knows how this was acted out. His mother was suppose to come to the MLK center here in Atlanta to talk about, but she passed away before she could come. I went to the center to view the documentary( which has yet to come in tv) 2002 when I was in the 8th grade man I was so shooked after I seen that, I can remeber his mother sati g she could smell his body 12 blocks away, the only way she could recognize him was because of a ring he wore. When she went to the killers trial she said their kids had cap guns pretending to shoot her. Her brother testified against them, but they were all found not guilty, and her brother would have to leave town out of fear of being killed. Every time I see that pic it's get me emotional and take me back to the MLK center
