Emmett Till was a real person, not a character in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird.

In 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till, an African-American boy, was accused of flirting with a white woman. Two days later, the woman's husband and brother-in-law abducted Emmett, brutally beat him, murdered him, mutilated him, and dumped his body in a river. His killers were found not guilty at trial; afterwards, they admitted that they had killed him.
