Retracing The Murder of Emmett Till 

Such an important part of history, on this date of August 28th. Thank you for this outstanding production

AWESOM 😀 YAAAA WORKING TOGHETHER. WHAT A GREAT DOCUMENTARY BROTHERS RIP THIS YOUNG MAN

I feel so bad for that kid he did not have to get killed by the person 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for this video! This year marked 65 years since this beautiful boy was lynched. May he rest in peace.

Hello fellas just want to say thank u for the history lesson but please don't say hope u enjoyed the video that's the wrong choice of words....should b more like my condolences to the family and everyone lost in that time then end the video...this irritates some of us because the same b.s. is still going on we are treated like Shit period .

Real sickening

God will make them pay

@@bmf5654 no he won’t

yes he will god is the creature if you believe that your heading the same place those two racist men are hell.

Well I'm sure we would know if someone else got beaten this bad again.

They would sing like a Canary

I say this all the time!!!! Like mother widow off Pocahontas!!!! TALK

my God. can’t even imagine😪

Whew.

They’d probably cry😔 this story and others like it make me Sooo Damn sick to my stomach!!! My heart goes out to anyone who was affected from this🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

@@aggieuber6571 Yes?

When she dies,she won't cross over because of her guilt.

Sabrina Foster I believe she’s already passed at least I thought so.

@@gavebirthtoqueens6771 no..i think she is still alive but her xhusband's half brother wife died

David Jr A right? Please explain that?

I’m sure she lived a pretty shitty life, 2 of her sons died at young ages and she had 2 divorces and pretty much had to hide who she was so she won’t be harassed all her life and I’m sure Emmetts spirit haunted her for years and she will meet her demise one day

When we think of the stalwart heroes of the civil rights movement, names like Rosa Parks, Jessie Jackson, Medgar Evans, and Martin Luther King immediately come to mind. But the very figure who brought the plight of oppressed blacks to the light of THE WORLD, Mamie Till Bradley, is not readily recognized. That is unfortunate.

She also made sure that Emmett had an open casket funeral so that the world could see what those horrible men did to her poor son. Really showed the realities of racism back then. His mother was a good woman, may she rest in peace now.

@@temb8625 Absolutely

You’re correct. This was embarrassing for the U.S, other countries mocked this nation, that allowed kids to be killed. This was brought up by President Eisenhower and he was the first to take civil rights action.

Yeah, because no one knows the names of the young white girls his father took

It's beyond hate, it's down right evil.

@Kamesha Winn hope God condemns them. Them people evil.

Yes

This is truly horrible what they did there's a special place in hell for all of them

💯💯💯💯

Absolutely. We gotta acknowledge that narcism (emotionally manipulative and reprobate) is how this country was made and why the illusion lasted. White people made black people everything they truly believed they were. Now people are waking up. Oh and reprobate means no redeeming qualities. The 400th years was actually last year look at what we've seen worldwide. It's time and God is not playing.

Oh the Maker will pass the judgement the mortal man was to chicken shhh to do ,I really believe this . I also heard the old lady ( saying that lightly) had two of her own sons pass early w cancer but don't quote me on it .

Amen I were thinking the same thing

True , we all have our reward waiting on us , good or bad , forgiveness is just an ask away , sin is sin , Jesus Christ is our only way to heaven, god bless

The community possessed the same hateful mindset. So sad!

The black community in fear of their own lives couldn't take care of it with their own hands. Crooked, racist cops would have found a way to make it a mass burial of the vigilante, revenge seeking blacks. Enough station wagons, vans and small trucks would have been used to bury them in the swamp like the Civil rights workers who were murdered. On another sickening note, Ahmaud Arbery's killers were free men for months. Thankfully, William Bryan was a smart dumbass that filmed it, probably for the trophy element of it. All 3 of them would likely be free men, protected by that crooked D.A., Jackie Johnson, if there was no video.

They were judged by a jury of their peers - racists. They knew they could get away with this from the moment they decided to act. They had no one to judge them with any level of morality.

Jury of their peers = fellow KKK members, keep in mind blacks were not allowed to vote and that is how they got all white juries. Schwerner, Goodman and Cheney were killed less than 10 years later in Mississippi for trying to get blacks the right to vote.

Does it really matter?

@@lyndiablack9098 it does because some people don't really like black people and it is just nice to see someone do something abut something that happened a while ago.

@Ahri Ayumei For real, I agree!

@Ahri Ayumei why does America have to end to stop racism. Germany had way worse racism than we did, but they ended it without stopping the country

@@mr16325 because the very existence of America was constructed on racism.

@@CamillaRules892 America was founded on equality if you read the words of the constitution. All men are created equal. What happened was idiots didn’t see black people as equals, even though the constitution says they are. America was founded on equal rights, but people didn’t follow them very much until latter on. So obviously racism was rampant in America, but your statement if false that it was started by racism

@@CamillaRules892 the German country was founded more on racism than America was. They recovered just fine. Could you imagine the damage if you stopped an entire country? Millions of jobs would be lost, benefits for the disabled would close, health care would stop. The logistics are not present to warrant the stop. You need to think it out more

He also has a school named after him (which is a HORRIBLE SCHOOL.) There is a an overpass named after him, too.

All down 71st and beyond 71st in the chi- he was the true foundation of Chicago & who legacy will live forever in many hearts

Except what Burr Oak Cemetery did to his body and other bodies

@@dp7047 His grave was not touched. However, there were many that was. Burr Oak, still looks awful, especially, lot 12. It is a shame because those grounds can be better kept. Additionally, there are a lot of veterans buried there and many of their graves look TERRIBLE.

Melonie Brown you can’t be serious your defending this shit

Why did Moses let two men take him. No blame I'm sure he was afraid too.

😥😥😥

Horrifying

Like a plane going down, the anticipation of death they say is greater than death itself

I don't think he was afraid , it wasn't uncommon to hear a black man getting killed for a simple crime as staring at a white women. One of my friend grandfather told us of one of his friends that was executed for looking at a white girl the girl was forced to confess he fingered her but truth was he only just looked and went his work. The grandfather to my friend was with the boy . He was hanged , you won't find a lot of this because it's hidden but dozens were killed .my friend's grandfather told us it was common for a black woman to be raped and no charges were taken. Like back then it was normal

As a child when I first heard about this story I was confused as to why not just have a close casket but as an adult now I applaud her for her decision to let the world see what those monsters did to that baby (because he was definitely still a baby) I hate that he was put through that all because of something that turned out to the a lie in the end. 😔😔

Shes alot braver than me! Hero is the perfect word. "Let the world see what you people allowed everyone to get away with"

@@NaeNik843 me too!

She’s not a hero she was spiritually driven, as well as a loving mother . Its too bad that the black men and women never got the name of that black man that ever did anything to a white human to make them hate peoples of color so so much can someone please tell us who this black man or black men that did something to the whites for them to have so much hate.

@@brenale_heartsJesus Yup. Willie Reed. He was 18 at the time. He even testified at the trial. They had to smuggle him out of Mississippi after that in an effort to keep him alive. He moved to Chicago and changed his name to Willie Louis

Honestly they would’ve been killed right with Emmett for trying to oppose them.

Indeed. Southern whites could do whatever they wanted to black people and get away with it. Juries were all white back then.

@@niggur4825 No, it's not. Many white cops (and other whites) still get away with their crimes against black Americans.

@@niggur4825 Even when you resist arrest, the penalty shouldn't be death.

@@niggur4825 The cases I'm talking about are not instances where they were trying to kill a cop. Some weren't resisting arrest either.

Doesn't matter what color you are. It's about what's right and wrong period. This story is sad and anyone still alive should be arrested and tried

Good morning Mark You said; "the ones responsible for his death were never charged" Roy Bryant and JW Milam were charged, tried, and found not guilty by an all-white jury. The injustice is that n one ever served one day in jail for his murder.

@@mark9531 Thanks for your reply but how i look at it is that they were tried (albeit an all white jury) but they were found not guilty therefore the charges were dropped hence why i said they were never charged.

They weren’t charged on earth, and I guarantee they had a quick recap and are serving their trial of eternity. Worse than any jail.

@@markstevenson7577 Not guilty = charges dropped? Interesting way to twist words. Ridiculous, but still interesting,

@@SombraPiloto Twisting words? Charges dropped = No charges

@marc curtis Where can I get some proof of this. Remember you said lynching that's way different than someone breaking the law and resisting Arrest

Get it how you live. Raleigh, North Carolina

Get it how you live. Only just 2 hours away, shockingly

Get it how you live. Errr not sure about him, last I heard he was d e d

You just know he did. As a mother I just know he did. I sincerely hope that he was unconscious straight away 💔

Yes, it's my understanding that he did.

I have a son who is right now about the same age as Emitt was when he was murdered. I can not even begin to comprehend his mother's pain and sadness.

And the sad part is he did cry out for her, according to Willie Reeds testimony 😢

U are so right... That's the part that u said that makes me very sad that I'm sure he cried out for his mother in that dark room. It has tears in my eyes right now. Fr.

Why?

1955 was 65 years ago. "Not that long ago"? Local people who were adults or of age to know what was going on when he was found are almost all deceased, you goofy clown. The ones that remain are all of advanced age.

@Toob247 Toob247 in the "hood" that you speak of when residents see a white person they view them as police/informant, last thing they're thinking of doing is "robbing/murdering" that would be like robbing/murdering a cop, & why are u even watching this video? 😂

Toob247 Toob247 It’s a hard pill to swallow for you isn’t..... hate to hear about all the horrible things that YOUR people did to START all racial divide in the world not just this country.

It's so sad. And the saddest part is people still have mind set that they had all those years ago. Martin Luther King Jr had a dream and In 2020 we're still waiting for that to come to a reality.

@Toob247 Toob247 you're one ignorant person just that simple! And you are probably the racist one here! You simply dont understand what people of color whent through in those days, people of color or any other etnicity where deprived and segragated from going to places that now anyone can go now a day's, their freedom was not a freedom. And crimes comes from all races and color. But this kid was just simply murdered by people that dont like you because of their race and color. So stop playing that race card your self.

True. Just like with the 3 Civil Rights Worker's. When they dragged the river, looking for their bodies. They found 25 more bodies. Those people's family members, thought, that they had moved up north to work. But they didn't.

What about the white kids who are brutally beaten or killed by black people? Todays America is just that, no one riots over an unjustified murder of a white person, rather celebrate it.

@@SomeNordicMan I WOULD NEVER EVER CELEBRATE, THE MURDER OF ANY PERSON...REGARDLESS OF COLOR...

​@@phyllisreese6476Then I wasn't talking about you.

Though me and me class were taught about Emmitt back in 4th grade, I dont even think my teacher was supposed to show it too us but she did. And it showed everything, even the body, imagine a young 8 year old seeing that. And here I am 24 years old and even looking or thinking about what happened and seeing his corpse makes me want to cry.

I know I was In my 40s before I ever knew about Emmett and it was because I saw an interview with Taraji P Henson where she spoke of his murder being the inspiration for the Civil Right Movement

The civil rights movement of the 50s-60s is a huge part of the history taught in the vast majority of American schools... there's not enough time in the school year to detail every single story that pertains to it. FYI, not trying to take away from the depth/ impact of Emmett's story, just saying

I was taught about Emmett in the early 90’s in middle school and again in more depth in high school when we spent time learning about the civil rights movement. Crazy that in a tiny town in Wisconsin we were taught about him tragic and unnecessary death.

Not true for everywhere. My high school taught us in great detail about the story and case of Emmett Till. It was a big part of the lesson on the prelude to the civil rights movement in history class.

AMEN

Absolutely

Your absolutely right about that😏😐☹️🙁🙄 that's the realest statement I've heard all year.

That name is cursed

@sowhatbitch103 tf is wrong with u

i agree, and this was one that we know of, for them to do that to a little kid, and not show any remorse, tells you they've done it many times before, and not only to kids, but grown men too, and women and little girls who they lusted after on the low. And they protected each others secretes to their graves. This is why i can never forgive whites, (and i know all white weren't like that, but i'd say 80% were)they killed so many of us, there are thousands apon thousands of bodies burried in unmarked graves, in the bottom of rivers that we may never know about, but they're there. And many of the killers have gone unpunished, some are still alive, living among us with their dark past, acting as if they are friends. I watched these stories and i get so angry, so full of rage, it's like i can feel their pain. But i have to watch, i have to know, to see how our ancesters/our people were mistreated, raped, beaten, and killed for no reason other than being black. And whites thought it was ok, the photo of Emmett's face is unreal, i know in my heart, had i have been his dad, uncle, or brother, i would have died not long after, cause i would have killed those two, and as many whites as i could have. I am so sad for black folks in those times, very sad.

I heard last killer was in a nursing home I tried to find out where so I could get a job there make him suffer but it was disclosed his whereabouts for his safety isn't that ironic his safety

The white old hag is dead and the old guy I think

Fuck thrown in jail they should have been tortured and disposed of like the trash they are. This is just disgusting what they have done.

more than thrown in jail if they were still alive they should have beaten and left with just enough to live and feel the pain emmett felt

His Killers are in Hell Burning. God is Real

Amen. I am glad she is in heaven now with her baby boy :). Thankfully the men that did that despicable and unthinkable act of evil against Emmitt are burning brightly in the most miserable depths of hell.

I was two at that time my older brother was 16 he told me about what was going on then my father seed him north i was reading it in jet He said are put on a train north to Chicago he my father they are talk they soomthing going to havpbeen
