On August 28, 1955, while visiting family in Money, Mississippi, a young black teen, Emmett Till, 14-years-old, from Chicago, was brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman named Carolyn Bryant four days earlier. Emmet’s assailants were Carolyn’s husband and his half-brother. An all-white jury would take less than hour to come back with a not guilty verdict allowing Emmet Till’s murders to walk free. The inflaming tensions around Till’s murder trial brought to light the brutality of the Jim Crow segregation in the South and would help in sparking the civil rights movement.
