Emmett Till (2/9)
  • Emmett Till was born July 25, 1941 in Chicago Illinois. Emmett Tills life is one that often goes unrecognized in history. Emmett Till was murdered in 1955 by two white men in Money, Mississippi for flirting with a white woman. The two men whom were the murders were “not guilty”.  This case highlighted and magnified the segregated south and severity of the Jim Crow system and laws. (Luecking)
