I am reading reports that the DOJ has closed #EmmettTill’s case. CAROLYN IS ALIVE! The warrant for her, on the grounds of kidnapping, was never served at the time of Emmett’s murder! Please text the word EMMETT to 243725 and sign the #JusticeForEmmettTillPetition!

Pretty infuriating and compelling piece. In the words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu: “the past does not lay down quietly.” #EmmettTill
