Till's Story

In 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Louis Till allegedly wolf-whistled at a white woman while he was visiting Money, Miss. Till was later abducted, brutally beaten and shot to death for addressing a white woman in public, triggering one of the first events of the Civil Rights Movement, when his alleged abductors were acquitted by an all-white, all-male jury.
