This is such a sad story I remember well even though I'm Canadian and one that personally makes me feel ashamed of being part of the human race. Emmett Louis Till was a 14 year old African American who was raised in Chicago where, although there was racism there was not so much hatred towards blacks as in Mississippi where he went to visit his great uncle Moss Wright, second cousin Simeon Wright and cousins…

Roy Bryant (husband of the wife Till flirted with) and his half-brother J.W. Milam took him to a barn, hit him multiple times with the end of a gun, gouged out one of his eyes, before shooting him through the head. The bullet caught him in the ear.

As he was leaving a store, he whistled to the white woman who happened to own the store with her husband. Two days later the woman's husband and brother dragged Emmett out of his great uncle's house, beating, shooting, and dumping him in a river. They found him three days later. The only way they identified him was by his father's ring that his mother gave to Emmett right before he left Chicago.
If you killed somebody it would ruin your life and the person you killed would ruin their life and you would be put in jail for a long time if I were you I would not ever kill anybody that is very stupid. Killing a person is probably illegal unless you kill that person to save your own life or that of another. Intentionally killing a person without just cause is called murder. Killing a…

He definitely had his eyes gouged out,definitely was tied to a cotton gin or fan (idk what it's called exactly),and was thrown in some river or lake....his mother insisted upon an open-casket funeral to show the extent of what they'd…
Emmett Till contributed in my prospective to the civil rights movement (CRM) because if the people who beat him and killed him had never done that then I really don't think that people would have really opened their eyes as much as they have now, which is a problem. If people really could not realize themselves blacks would still be treated unfairly to this day which is sad. And it's also sad that people had…
