70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary

Emmett Till’s mother Mamie Mobley thought he would be safe for the summer with his cousins in Mississippi. She wanted his casket to be open in his Chicago funeral so folks could see the horror of his murder. JET mag covered the massive turnout of over 100k who came to show their respect. He was 14.

Poor boy, whose mother sent him to the South to be safe from any gangs in the area, and then they kidnapped and killed him in the most horrendous fashion. His mother demanded that the coffin be opened so people could see what they did to him. #EmmettTill

His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, deserves nationwide recognition & thanks for her strength & courage, and her words, in letting everyone SEE the brutal evil that was done to her child. It changed the country. She did get a Congressional Gold Medal. But we should ALL know her name!

"Louis Till was executed in Italy after a court-martial found him guilty of raping two women and murdering another while serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, but it's long been debated whether he was truly guilty or unfairly targeted because of his race."

Fantastic book. It also shows how little has changed as people would shoot up the highway marker commemorating the site. Yet, this administration would like to make events like this disappear.

Shared his story with my eighth- grade students 30 years ago in our southern predominantly white middle school. It's a terrible shame to realize I probably couldn't do that now if I were in that same classroom.

We cannot go back to this. We cannot let those nazis run wild again. We need to stop this before it’s too late and too many die. This is history repeating itself and it ain’t good history. They will attack. They are starting to now. The longer we wait, the innocent will die.

I also share this birthday, and think of him each year with such sadness and devotion to honoring his life by my actions. The bookend to this atrocity is MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech also made on this day in 1963. Powerful.

70 years and we are no better as a society. If anything they got better at hiding their hate by gerrymandering, not offering resources and painting black people as thugs. It is alarming how many people have been duped into their racism and are not aware how deep it runs. RIP Emmett Till.

As to the accusation that brought about his lynching: The white woman later admitted on her deathbed that he never hit on her or whistled. She said she just made it up. She knew what could happen, and she chose to get a 12 ye old boy in a deadly situation.
