Emmett Till was a 14 year-old African American boy who was murdered in Mississippi in 1955. He was killed by two white men after he whistled at the wife of one of the men in a store. The two men were put on trial, and they were not convicted. His story became a famous example of a racist murder. It happened right at the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement.
