In this Black History Month special, Dr. Duvalier Malone takes you to the moment America could no longer look away. We revisit the brutal death of Emmett Till and the fearless decision by Mamie Till Mobley to show the world the truth through an open casket, turning private grief into public resistance. This episode traces how that shockwave reached a generation of young people in the 1960s who saw themselves in Emmett, and how that awakening helped fuel the organizing, marching, and moral urgency that led to the movement's defining moments, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic speech on August 28, 1963.
Stay tuned for my conversation with Dr. Brandon Erby as we reflect on legacy, courage, and what it means to keep the truth alive in a time that still needs it.
