Best Answer

Emmett Till's brutal murder in 1955 sparked outrage and galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. His open-casket funeral and his mother's decision to have an open casket, to show the world what had been done to her son, brought international attention to the realities of racism and violence in the United States. Till's death is seen as a catalyst for the civil rights movement.
