The Murder of Emmett Till
The murder of Emmett Till, a 14-year old black boy murdered in Mississippi in August 1955 sparked the Civil Rights movement, but the crime won’t caused a nation to awake if not for the above photo. The gruesome photographs of Till’s mutilated corpse however circulated around the country, notably appearing in Jet magazine, which targeted African American crowd. The photo drew intense public reaction. Till, visiting Mississippi from Chicago, whistled at a married white woman thus incurring the wrath of local white mob.
In the middle of the night, the door to his grandfather’s house was thrown open, and Emmett was taken by the mob of at least six white men, forced into a truck and driven away, never again to be seen alive. Till’s body was found swollen and disfigured in a river three days after his abduction and only identified by his ring. The body was sent back to Chicago, and his mother insisted on leaving the casket open for the funeral and allowing people to take photographs because she wanted people to see how badly Till’s body had been disfigured—she has famously been quoted as saying, “I wanted the world to see what they did to my baby.” Up to 50,000 people viewed the body.
On the day he was buried, two men were indicted of his murder, but the 12-member all-white male jury (some of whom actually participated in Till’s torture and execution) took only an hour to return ‘not guilty’ verdict. They said it took an hour because the jury paused for a soft drink on the way to the deliberation room. To add insult to injury, the murderers admitted to everything after they were found not guilty selling their stories to LOOK magazine for four thousand dollars.
That is a disgusting picture.
Where do you find these pictures?

It may be a disgusting picture but it’s a fact of life for African Americans. If the shoes were on the other foot and it was your family, I wonder how you would feel to have you teenage loved one murdered by a mob than thrown away like trash. You should be careful what you say unless you know what you’re talking about or the history behind what you see. A picture IS worth a thousand words…and to make it racial again shows how ignorant YOU are. It doesn’t matter who made the comments; it’s a fact of life. And yes, I’m AFRICAN AMERICAN.

I’m WHITE, and I find it rude of people to blame WHITES for everything that has happened in the past, not only is it rude it is immature. Many WHITE and black people are still living for the past generations when prjudice and rasicm was an everyday thing, they’re dumb! Whites Blacks Asians or Any other ethnicity has as much right as the next HUMAN!
__What they did to that poor boy and his family, i’m sure almost everyone agrees was wrong and they deserved the punishment that they gave Emette!__

This is one of the most important pictures in history and all you can think to say is that it’s “disgusting?” The fact that a human being was destroyed is disgusting, not this photograph. This was someone’s baby.

And to top it all- ther murderers got away with this. Sickening.

I have looked at articles and heard stories about Emmett Till’s death, but I have never been impacted by his story as when I saw this picture. I think it is important for all of us to study photos like this to recognize them as historical documents if the not so distant past. May nothing as horrible as dipicted in this sad picture ever happen to a person again.

Having studied Emmett Till in my A Level history, I have been told of how he was murdered and the so called “reasons” that Bryant and Milam gave in their defence. Previously before seeing this image, I was shocked at their actions and appalled that anyone would commit such an outrageous act.This image has effected me in the way that I feel as if I knew Emmett Till and I can imagine how his mother felt- to some degree. No-one can committ this inhumane act and get away with it nowadays, so why should they have been allowed at that time, just because of whites thinking they were superior. It is disappointing to know that the human race allowed his murderers to have lawyers present at his case, fighting for their “innocence”.

That is hardly the point. Sometimes you can say more with poor grammar than with perfect English. Shannon’s writing has way more heart that yours ever could. And she had the nerve to use her real name to boot, “Unknown.” Furthermore, how can you see a photograph such as this one of the complete and utter destruction of a human being and your only response is to nit-pick someone’s grammar. For shame.

Emmetts’ mother purposely kept the casket open. That way people were no longer sheltered to the brutality of these animals.
With that in mind, the kkk covered themselves with sheets and at rallies covered their license plates with black tape to avoid being identified. So why would the “Invisible Empire” hide from something they so strongly believed in.
Just a question
October 11, 2010 at 4:12 pm
The hatefulness will continue to grow wherever it’s tolerated. But violence only begets more violence, one form of hate won’t trump another.
The photo is shocking and just what a complacent society needs to be reminded of. A young man of 14 could do nothing to warrant that kind of brutality. Compassion for the mother and the boy and contempt and disgust at the men and the system that inflicted this harm would be the norm.
The comments from anonymous hateful individuals speaks volumes of their cowardice and social ineptitude but there will always be that minority out there. Please don’t assume they represent the majority of society whatever the color of our skin.

Sunshine, you have a problem and need attention. Anybody who thind that picture is nasty needs help. That is a picture of truth. Just check out the history of Black people in America. You will see that many men were ujustly hung and women and children being raped. It was o-k for the white men to disrespect Blacks in any form or fashion. Emmitt Till is just one example of the mind of a discrimination. This controlling bull-shit started with slavery when the master of the plantation used fear to control slaves. We are free but, not free from injustice.

Emmit Till’s story touches my heart deeply. I am originally from Maryland but I worked in Southern Mississippi as a Union Representative at three poultry processing plants. The production workers are predominately 85% African American amonst the 2000 hourly employees we represent.
There was a tremendous hatred that was taught and engrained in generations of Mississippians back then. And being from the North, I am sad to say that even today (Janurary 4, 2010) that there is still many, many white Mississippians who linger within their minds a white superior mentality that is insensitive towards the African Americans as workers.
There are still so many injustices done to the minority workder in these poultry processing plant. As a Union Representative, I address many of their issues and complaints to predominate white management that are issues that don’t allow the Black to be human beings to do what humans need to do such as use the bathroom to expulsion of feces or relieve themselves to urinate. The white supervion mentality is wrong in many areas of allowing fairness in the workplace and here is still much work to be done in Mississippi to bring racial equality to the forefront.
The Blacks have traveld a difficult and long journey over the decades to gain more respect and dignity. I thank our heavenly Father that we have come and a long distance to where we come from. May He bless the family of Emmit Till as he truly was a sacrifical lamb that inspired the civil rights movement greatly escalate as his story touched most every American’s heart.
Heaven is Smiling!

Eye gauging, bob wire, being drug in the dirt his male part being cutt off thrown in the water after being shot in the head with rope tied arrond him and bob wire and a fan. The hooked Emmett to a tractor and drug him than this is him after this is so brutal Btw his body is puffed up like a cheeto because he was in the water for 3 days like a cheeto in water.

I say all the time ” if i was alive during that time I would’nt have lasted long at all because I would have fought back and not thought twice about.” Its not right. Its very sick. If the shoe was ON THERE FOOT WORLD WAR 3 would break out. It would be an international issue, the whole world would know about it.

This story is a truly sad one, but while we all wish this hadn’t happened, we need to remember what came from this. Without this little boy’s help, the Civil Rights movement would probably not have become what it is now. Thanks to that boy, the nation became aware of its hidden darkness and decided to act upon it.

This is just heartbreaking. I try to imagine myself in his shoes, feeling every blow, kick, and even imagine the thoughts going through his head when it was being done. I try to imagine how his mother felt seeing her son like that and even how her loss felt. I am a single mother of a son, and it kills me just thinking of myself in that situation. Even today in 2010 this tragedy is heartbreaking. I’m just happy she finally with her son again. And for the record Emmitt was not castrated, as it is rumored.

Wow this is such bull man, the kid whistled at a white married women, which may be wrong but there are two possibilities: one, he didn’t even know she was married, or two, he was just a kid and all kids do stupid stuff such as this. But to actually beat and murder him is nothing short of pure racist crap. But even worse than murdering the child was the fact that these men where charged not guilty? They confessed to actually doing the murder and still got away. America your south end is like a gutter; dirty, disgusting, and, for the most part, avoided. Why? because your sick people, during this time, and even still now, killed an innocent boy for sheer enjoyment. It makes me feel so sick that i wish you were just removed entirely from the face of the Earth. However, I forgive you,(I’m a Jehovah’s Witness and even though most of you probably won’t read anything further than this I will continue) because I have learned that the past is the past and we have to move on, but there is nothing wrong with trying to improve the future, and hopefully, I cannot say for sure, YOU will be imparted of your sick manner and never again will such atrocities be repeated. For this to happen there is that solution or entirely obliterating you sick, dumb, senseless people. I will live a better life believing this, but for now I cannot do or say much, yet, but when it comes the time I can I will make sure, as much as I can, you people, yea I’m sort of being racist’, will not be allowed to do this. If it comes down to it you will receive the message of God and stop believing that you are the best people in the world because really you are stupid, one most of you southerners marry your own relatives, if anything blacks are even better than you and you should respect that not kill them just because you can, with twenty people behind your back. So to put it simply you are WRONG!!!. We are all the same; and the sooner you accept that the faster we can move on, and peace, hopefully, will win out. Peace my brothers and sisters, I pray for all you of other races, and hope that the one true God Jehovah will help you in any way possible.
,Thank you

I am also revisiting the story and yes it was the catalyst that pushed the Civil Rights forward. But here is one thing I read, June 13, 2005 the American Government apoligized for allowing 4,700 people from 1882 until 1968 to be LYNCHED!!!! Yes Emmett Till was ONE of MANY.
What are we doing to stop the injustices TODAY? Are blacks more educated? Do they have decent Jobs? Is discrimination still Rampant? Are there drugs and guns in our communities? What are we doing about these and other problems that plague our nation?
Sad to say, LYNCHINGS still occur in 2010.

you know wat i think we should stop talking about what they did because it is not our places to sit here and judge these white man for doing this sure it was not right not 1 bit but we dont have to talk dirty about just think of it this way they have to face god for that not us so cool down wit the outragiuos comments and go on with our lives because the past is the past at least emmett dont got to be here dealing with these ediots out here today you my mom works at golden corral and she put out some strawberries one day and a white man came up to her and said did you grow these my mom turned around and said no but yo mom did even though she responded wrong to his question this lets you konw we still have white people out here like dat who dnt give a dogs tail about you so just stop worring bout him kk luv you all bye.

I am up and i just happened to come across the song “a change gonna come” by sam cooke. I love the song but it makes me cry because i heard what happened to Emmit till. My instructor showed us a clip of his death how he use to look and than some. I was very shocked and turned off at the sametime from the song. I was soo happy listening to the song because i liked it, but when i saw the pictures and the story i bout died. I remember that day when i saw it, i feltless of a woman and more of a “nigger”, a dirty nigger, because thas how they looked at us and i feel somee still look at me like that now to this day! True Story, I was in the most uppidity up mall in charlotte nc, and me and my boyfriend was walking around, and we were dressed down. I had on my favorite black shirt with “WHITE” writing that said “My Black Is Beautiful” on the back it said “Its Time To Talk”! Now i wasnt paying it any attention but my boyfriend said that a white lady saw it and gave this i dont believe her someone should smack her look, i got something to tell my white racist friends later… you know?? I mean, i didnt mean for it to give off a bad message but people gotta undersrtand it was mixed people back than and its alot of that now! I am white black puerto rican and cuban, so i rep all of me not just one, i just happen to like that shirt! But hey, I am not mad but i am sad and i wish this never happened to him. I love him and i dont eve know him, i love him like family like my brother! i mean, he didnt have to get killed over that! NO WAY! But as his mother said he did what he was put here to do… which was show people how ugly hatred really is! its very freaking ugly! He had to die ugly for the world to see, and now we are actually living with better rights and lives. I like to say white and blacks get along little better now! Yes, there are some who cant stand us still and prob wanna take a medal bat oe whip to our heads and backs, but ha ha in the name of jesus i rebuke you, things are better and your heart will give in to the lord you will love everyone no matter the color.. you might have a little dislike but hate, no no, no, you will pay for that in the end! Its not my place nor is it anybody elses to say how and when but he will let you know trust! I happento come across this and was happy and relieved people are acknowledging this and writing there opinions, by all means speak up, i am! I sat here and cried for 2 hours reading and reading and finally now i am writing. I listened to that song by sam cooke maadd times and it brings me to tears each time. I pray noone does that to my daughter ever not even just raping her, NOTHING! I want her safe untill god calls her home. She is in a wheel chair and has hydrocephalus,seizures,asthma,choking spells,near sided,non mobile,loss of hearing completely in left ear, and has a tube from her head down her neck to her tummy, so im taking care of her for the man above until he saids hes reasy for her. Everybody be blessed and keep Emmit till in your prayers, no matter that he has passed on his soul is still with us! As i said i didnt know him but i feel i did and i am happy his mother finally got her peace that she was looking for… thank you..

That is the true face of hatred. What’s even worse is that the killers got away with it(because of an all white, all male jury) and went on to admit that they did it, but could not be recharged because of double jeopardy rules.
BTW religious people need to stop with the “let God handle it” crap. I’m sure if this was your son you wouldn’t be talking that shit. Me personally, if it was my relative I would have hunted these fuckers down and feed them their own testicles. I would gladly go to hell(if there is such a place) to make sure that they know that this sort of thing is not acceptable. And I’m not even a violent person.
When they go crazy you have to go crazy too.

This really saddens me….really makes me question human nature. After reading about Emmitt, it almost brought a tear to my eye. We as a people have got to do and be better. Where is the love, then and now? Emitt was an innocent young man and his death was senseless! Not to sound ignorant, but the murders should burn in hell for doing that to a child. My heart goes out to his family, especially his mother…may she R.I.P.

WHEN I GO BACK I WANT IT TO BE THE SAME BUT WITH OUT THE MURDERS OF: EMMET TILL, AND MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.” but yeah future wouldn’t be the same because the murder of Emmet spiked the awarness of the American civil rights movement.
Uhg, thats picture so brutal. One of his eyes looks like ground meat, a side of his face is caved in and his chin is like pushed up and uhg its just sad.

Note that this body was decomposing in the Tallahatchie River three days before being fished out. What he did to Carolyn Bryant is still disputed, but it was no worse than grabbing her and making sexual talk to her. Nevertheless, she got all upset and told her husband and things went pretty predictably from there. Why Carolyn Bryant couldn’t let Emmett have a little fun is beyond me. Practically speaking, she’s the one responsible for the whole mess.

y would they do this to him jst because he whistled dont mean it had to be like this i mean come on he was just 14 years old. then they shot him tied a fan around his neck and cut off his ears and private part and used a axed and cut his head

Whats so special about white women anyway. Most of them are easy whores. Girls Gone Wild. Most of them portray themselves as prostitutes. They dominate the Porn industry! So fucking what if he whistled at one.. she wanted to know what it was about anyway.. I hope everyone involved burns in hell! Especially her.. Had that child killed for nothing. She was probably fucking both the brothers involved (her husband and her brother-in-law!) cousin fuckers from ole Miss. Makes me sick!When all them old ass crackers die who think like this and some of the young ones this will be a better place!

I love how us white people get in deep shit for being racist, but when some black person like you opens their mouth saying all white women are whores and we’re crackers, nothing happens. it’s like words are only racist when they’re aimed at black people. You’re also pretty damn ignorant because when most white people (like me) look at this, we think, “jesus christ those fucking scumbags should have their balls cut off for what they did.” or something like that

Emmett Tills’ story is an eye opener and a reminder of the fate of many blacks young and old alike during that era. Many faced the same fate only to have the courts add insult to injury. Stories like this one should always be in our subconsciousness, regardless of race, keeping everybody on there toes, eliminating insensitive comments and judgement. A person cant pretend to be better than me if I know all the dirt hes’done. Think about it………

Emmett Till was a a African American who was killed. to see some of the cmments that people have put on here it’s sad. It doesn’t matter if your white or black. This was a child who was killed over something that was not cause for. to see the comments grown-ups have put on here is very rude and disrespectful to all races white or black,and to be using such language. How can you stand for something that you think that is wrong and the way you are handling racial comments are out of line i am 14 years old and i cant see that happening to me, and what those 12 men did to Till was wrong and im not going to blame every white person for what 12 men did. it looks bad because my mother taught me better. – African American 14 year old girl

Im an african-italian living in africa and im astounded at the degree of rascism on display here. So much so that a few people seem to have forgotten what the issue is. We all do well to remember the Tragedy of Emmet Till but we should not use as an excuse to vent whatever pent up aggression we may have towards whites. Instead, reflect on how far america has come since and how YOU can pick up from where the Civil Rights Movement left off. to all my africans on the continent and in the diaspora of pure and mixed race..men and women..Ujama! and Amandla!

Sadly the hatred still goes on right here on this page. We should all unite to NEVER NEVER let this happen to anyone.
It infuriates me to think that people are that demonic to have the ability to do this kind of thing. But the way some of you talk right here seems like you are no different. How will lashing out at each other help this cause? Hate is learned. Make this world better please: it is horrible enough without any more contributions of evil. LOVE YOUR ENEMY! I will not be held prisoner for eternity by such actions but instead be filled with purpose to prevent them. If people can be taught to love and forgive, this world would be incredible.One example is of a TX woman whose son was murdered. She reached out to that boy and showed him the love he never knew. She didn’t say it was OK to kill but forgiveness is a supernatural thing. Love changes people for good if you allow it to work.

October 15, 2010 at 1:04 pm
I must say however the murder of Emmett Till is truly gruesome, however Blacks who have commented on this page, should not make dehumanized responses against WHITES! It is not acceptable. Unlike before and after the civil war, slavery, and so forth up to now-Racism is no longer a national problem for the United States. I am African American and Blackfoot Indian, yet I do not feel a certain way towards Whites! I have some white friends and they are amazing. Its not their fault now for them to face tensions from Blacks that ocurred decades ago. Its not the race, its the the people that have acted out against the law. Lynchings today are a felony in all states in the United States. Im reading the comments from Blacks- which I see some are very ignorant-and misspelling countless words- that is unacceptable..and of course adds to the sterotypical roles that you cannot spell..smh..Civil Rights movements increased progress for Blacks-there are Blacks lawyers..docters..police officers…firefighters n etc…Race is no longer a matter in U.S Society…I, myself is currently attending John Jay College of Criminal Justice as a Junior-majoring in Criminal Justice-Concentration E-Crime and Society-passed NYPD exam..so basically we should live in dignity and respect towards all race..Work on prospering for yourself instead of misspelling b.s and speaking “ghetto” “slang” that half of you do not have the full knowledge..peace n love <3

Saying racial stuff like that doesn’t help anyone. You are no diffrent than anyone else, so saying stuff like that just proves that your just immature. I mean what makes YOU diffrent than anyone else? What gives you the right to say cruel things like that? Nothing. Nothing gives you the right to make fun of people just because of their color, race, or religion. If you wanna be “diffrent” than start by not making fun of people. Everyone deserves second chances, but no one deserves to be beaten, murdered, or made fun of, no matter what race.

To think a beating wasnt good enough u had to warp barb wire around his neck nd with a metal fan throw his body nd the water..How dare u say thats DISGUSTING.. no thats sad only for speaking to a white woman, when white men was rapping us blacks all the time, nd notthing gets done to them no punishment they juss had to take it, the woman nd her husband.. how dare some of u whites, how dare you!!!!….

I belive that there were only 2 men, not 6. Still that never should’ve happened to 14 year old Emmett Till.

this is a comment to whiteman first of all get you need to get more knowledge of your terms a nigga can be of any race because a nigga is a nasty person of filth and technical you are trying to take credit for something you didn’t do if you feel this way step out into the world today and be outspoken of your dislikes with blacks and all i have to say is life for you won’t be long. I feel sorry for you and you will be in my prayers. signed an African American who has a heart, mind, soul, and body like you
