It doesn't exist. Roy Wilkins, head of the NAACP, called Till's killing "a lynching." He was shot, beaten, tortured, & then thrown into a river.

Emmett Till was a 14-year-old African American boy who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of whistling at a white woman. His murder and subsequent open-casket funeral drew national attention and became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. The men responsible for his death were acquitted by an all-white jury, highlighting the systemic racism and injustice prevalent in the United States at the time.
