The Lost Story of Emmett Till: Then & Now 

There was so much hatred in these men's hearts, there was no room for love of any kind! Living life devoid of love is a miserable existence!

@@rucianapollard4057 hatred and alcohol

​@@llianneolivoreyesmusic agree, liquor was definitely in the mix

@@rucianapollard7098 No blaming alcohol. This was happening all over America. They would have lynching parties,picnics with adults and children eating barbecue and drinking Coca-Cola ,Kool Aid. It's the nature of the beast not the alcohol in the beast. Islam comes after all else fails.

you are taught hate. Blacks don't exactly get a free pass on this hate thing. want me to cite case after case?

She was the one who reported Emmett's father for abuse, and that's why he was forced to enlist in the military. While in Italy, he murdered white women and was hanged.

@@ManofLowMoralFiberYou talk as if you were there!

RIP.

@@ManofLowMoralFiber no

Strength my foot, black folks let that black woman down by not giving her justice for her boy while she was alive.

white male are still racist. 2024.. jealous selves

Oh yes he suffered

Me too 😢

He would’ve been 81 today

I always get emotional whenever I watch or read something about Emmitt Till and his mother Mamie Till Mobley. ❤

Now look up the lynching of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

Amen🙏🏿

Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

Yeah! There's concrete proof already.

She is 88 and in a nursing home, possibly has dementia

That's crazy isn't it? And here I thought there was no statue of limitations on murder? This woman set up an innocent child to be slaughtered and massacred

I don't care how old she is, she should have been sitting in jail instead of getting to enjoy her life.

@@reneetrosper-jones4650 Yes ,in the past, she should have been given a sentence (and her husband and brother in law should have been given sentences longer than her.) But right now its unlikely she actually remembers anything and will die soon, so it is too late.

You make it sound as if he just experienced a tough time in his life.

@@hankramirez3256 You can't be serious?... he was a 14yr old that went through hell at the hands of a couple of "adult' white males that chose to take offence with him bc he whistled at a "white'woman'' That was the extent of his "offence"& for that he was tortured to death over a period of some hours.. He was unrecognisable to his mother who found his body in a river 4 days later. His murder received no justice even though it was witnessed, arrests were made & was prosecuted. His body was exhumed some yrs later & his body then looked better than his body did at his funeral....it was a terrible thing If you think I've trivialised what happened to him even a little bit then I apologise bc what happened to him was anything but trivial & I apologise...

Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

I'd say it was in vain

Yes, indeed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@AmonAnon-vw3hr Ok, you post this comment on every thread I’ve looked at, and I have to ask, against my better judgement, why? Yes, it was horrific what they went through yet you seem to be trying to conflate the two. It’s NOT the same and I believe you know that, but are just trying to stir up crap for the sake of it. The people who did those heinous things were tried and found guilty whereas the murderers of Till never received the punishment they damn well deserved because the system back then didn’t seem to care about justice for black people.

Being cruel to a child Is even worse

That's because back then white thought they can lie on a black person n get them killed but if it was the other way around it a be a different outcome

You can believe that🙏🏼🙏🏼

As brutal and inhumane as Emmett's murder was, he is far from the thousands of black men, women and children who were brutally murdered and we NEVER heard about it!! White people in Money, Mississippi and the surrounding area, joked that the Tallahatchie river was "full" of black bodies!! Emmett's mother was incredibly brave to demand that his body be brought back to Chicago and his casket be open!! The majority of black people who lost loved ones to lynchings and murders quietly buried their dead and didn't talk about it. Even though Emmett's case was nationally reported on, his family said they almost never talked about it. One of Emmett's cousins who was with him in bed when he was kidnapped, said that he didn't even tell his wife for like 8 years that he was cousins with Emmett. Willie Reed, the young man who heard Emmett's screaming said he didn't tell his wife about it for several years!! That was the only way these people could deal was by not talking about it. I'm sure all of them suffered from PTSD

Some things have changed for the good, but more can be done

With the help with our Lord how have her the strength to proceed whatever needs to be done

His mother will never see justice

Many black mothers Go through this these are ongoing events in America nothing has changed the only difference is they put on a suit instead of a cape..

@@rickeyricardomatthews2147 she never saw justice. Mamie passed away.

I saw the same strength in the eyes of Ahmaud Arbery's mother. She was determined to get justice for her son and she got it.

Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

@@AmonAnon-vw3hr u sound stupid asf, that case has nothing to do with emmet till 😭

​@@AmonAnon-vw3hrikk it's a devastating story but that has nothing to do with what's going on here

It’s till

This whole revisionist history is a lie and dummies like you fell for it. Read the testimony. His own friends confirmed he was guilty.

You right. 😊❤

Never Ever,For GetThis.Sad Sad Sad

Naming a park after him but refused to give justice!!! God saw and America will have to pay for it's EVIL!!! The bible says no evil will go unpunished. America can change everything if they want to, but it stands that they don't want to, SMH!!! So sad. 😢😢😢

And we still getting Lynched! We have to as a People stop holding our Slave Masters hand ! Stop Voting In their systems and keep the Laws of Our God! So he can deliver us!

You said he did not whistle then turned around and said he whistled. He did indeed whistle but not at the lady but as you said Mrs Till did say he had speech issues (stutters) and she had told him to whistle as you have said, and take a deep breath and take his time to get his words together.

Come on Kim. I'm almost 70 and uh, no.

Your comment is so goofy. Get your head in the game or let it go please. And the all CAPS too? Come on lady!

Emmitt's cousins who were with him at the store said he did indeed whistle.

INTERESTING! NEVER KNEW HE USED WHISTLING AS A TYPE OF COPING MECHANISM FOR HIS SPEECH IMPEDIMENT, THANKS FOR THAT INFO.

Amen 🙏 Continue to Rest Easy Emmett Till and Parents Mrs.Mammie Louis Mobley Louis Till .... Continue to Fly 🕊️ High...🕊️🙏🥰🪖💔☮️

He tried to rape her dude. Read her book detailing what happened. She never admitted to lying.

@@JA-jx1hk Read TILL Novel/ Book

@@TeeBaby888 thats a book written by third parties. Karen Bryant wrote an autobiography and went into detail of what happened

@@JA-jx1hk I didn't mean to be Disrespectful If I did....But The Movie 🎥 is based on what happened.,..This is why It's remade over to Tell what really happened.Plus it's Three sides to each story

My thoughts exactly!! Especially that 😡 woman, who NEVER took accountability for Emmitts MURDER!!!😢

Learn the truth lol.

Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

@@kayfitzgerald309what woman, and how was she responsible? Emmett had some responsibility in what happened also, along with his father who was also a criminal. Was any of that in this video or the movie?

​​@@MichaelPettit-wv2bvWhats wrong with u??? 😳 A CHILD should be responsible for being tortured and murdered??! What woman, u say too!? Caroline Bryant who LIED about that this little boy had harrassed/touched her. Have u watched this clip atall???!! U put the blame on a child for being treated so barbaric. And... what had the boys father to do with this?? He was dead since many years. You should be ashamed of yourself! 😡

AMEN LORD JESUS 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

GOD BLESS🙏🏿

The 1 question i have is if they were with him why did this happen? I have always been sickened by this 😪

The perpetrators & the woman who started this will be in hell with the rest of those southern Christians who continue to perpetrate such bigotry.

Hell will be their final home.

George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Arbry, it goes on and on. It's heartbreaking. 😊❤

Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

Yes

Yes, I remember the story of James Bryd Jr in the 1990's of his death. He was drugged by a truck. It's was horrible

@@portiamatthews9654 I’m sure you didn’t mean drugged by a truck. 😉 Dragged. Very horrible and disturbing.

@@josephinemiller4780 👍🙂 I appreciate it.

Years and history could pass. I will never forget 😥

Exactly and people think it's bad now. No it's worse back then. You already knew that the jury was going to say not guilty

As opposed to now when cases like the murder of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

​@@1990758Everyone on that jury trial has bloody hands 🙌

Yeah In Mississippi is the key word here. Cannot believe this was 1955. Just unreal

Still. The. Same

I'm told that Carolyn lives somewhere in KY

He was sent to live with his cousins because he'd been assaulting women while living with his mother.

Yes indeed sad Sickening Distraught Devasted hurt 😡 pained

Amen 🙏

All roads lead to England.

They are both in heaven now with the Lord, and those demon are in hell where they should be

People stopped going in the store after those guy got off free no surprise at all

Emmett till was a would be rapist. He tried to rape a married woman with a child working at her store. That’s unacceptable anywhere. Other black people witnessed this and told the woman’s husband, he then got a crew of 3 other white dudes and 3 black dudes to handle business. And they handled business.

You are right. She talks about how his tounge was protruding from his mouth and resting on his chin.

Absolutely disgusting! Those men (what an insult to even call them that) projected their vile and evilness onto Emmett. That poor kid.

He looks typical for a deceased person who has been in water for a while, go online and look. Now go look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

​@AmonAnon-vw3hr well, his head was split in two by a hatchet sown back together for the funeral Will we find that as well in that book?

​@@AmonAnon-vw3hrshut up bigot

That evil British woman is still alive.

Yep thats what the kkk doesn’t and doesn’t give a damn all on a word of a white female, no evidence.

Rest in Peace Mr Till

Jim crow South and they didn't care

No, "god" needs to explain to us why he let this happen...

She said last year that she was dying. Can't believe a word ..what is told from a Criminal that Descends from the United Kingdom

@@gigigiseleworld She’s dead, so she was probably telling the truth when she said she was dying. A shame she never apologized for what she did. The wicked do sometimes prosper.

@@coldwar45may she rot in hell

@@mooriabdul3861 😂nope, she’s in heaven, so you can cry all you want 😂

@@coldwar45 no need to apologize when she was telling the truth. That’s why she lived free. Deal with it

Who

This happened in 1955. When were you born?

It’s a spiritual perpetual hate

It’s such a crazy concept to me. Like why does a person’s skin color trigger someone so much?

You mean like blacks being obsessed with race?

It's been like that since slavery and before.

Now add media fear propaganda....

Wow they couldn't shoo at another store. Grow there ow food dam shame

@@Toni-id2pv My great grandfather shopped there too for groceries. He said he didn’t have no other choice but to shop there.

I'm thinking the pieces of shit 💩 who did this are screaming in Hell 24/7.

Lord JESUS 🙏🏿

Willie Reed, the young man who testified that he heard Emmett's screams, had a nervous breakdown not long after the 1955 trial! He said that he could hear Emmett crying and screaming, "help me, Lord have mercy" and "mama".Some of Emmett's injuries were a broken leg, both of his wrists were broken, one of his ears was cut off, an eye was gouged out and he had numerous skull fractures. That poor baby died an agonizing death!!

🥺

@@rucianapollard4057 read the book on this. I cried. Lord keep us company for we will not know the company of us. It’s not about the hate, it has been all along the obvious, “skin color “. If religion or the belief that anyone of us could save a love one; not an issue for an organ donor or blood transfusion…We all need each other bc the end of our need for life saving measures. Everything from a donor is not color and religion; we all need each other no matter what. Thank you Wonderful Mother, Our Lord and Savior

Yes, any human

Well to some it sounds bad but I was happy to hear she passed away. That woman was the worst type there is

Against children at that.

Very well said 💯

Have you ever given a single thought to the woman louis till murdered and raped.??

Absolutely

This is for you, Che. Why is it a habit of yours to just and only repeat yourself? It is so a disappointing and boring thing to deal with. Kindly, do yourself a favour, and GROW UP!

She epitomizes Mother’s Day. If we all had the Guts. To do as she did. 💜💜

@@Buckeye2Orange my god, i really admire you for saying that! Yes! So that now on Mother's Day I'll especially think of this extraordinary mother among all moms! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤‍🔥

A Colossus of foresight and bravery. 😊❤

@@Zyryne1 thank you.

Actually you’re right. I heard that when Rosa Parks heard what happened to Emmet, that motivated her to sit in the bus.. so I’m thinking it was like the last straw. If it wasn’t for this tragic event who knows if she would have been motivated to do so.

@@bluewhale2600 I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for sharing. And while I agree that what Ms. Parks did was an act of courage, it was not the first act that inspired the Civil Rights Movement as it has sometimes been called. I'm glad to see that the Emmitt Till tragedy has finally gotten the attention it so richly deserves.

I'm so sick of full catastrophe having to be the catalyst. 😊❤

CYNTHIA Ramirez: I am so thankful Emmett Till's mother showed his brutalized body. The law officers tried to hide what they did to him.

Those photos of Emmett were so disturbing to see. But I understand his mother’s insistence that he be seen that way.

@@olabegEmmett has some responsibility in this also, he was a criminal like his father but they don’t show that in any of these videos. Gotta make whitey look evil at all times

What curse?!😂 That white woman is not only protected by the system set up for her, she is protected by bm who will never rise up against the white man and his woman! She's good.

Yes

Let’s hope so. May they never know peace

I feel the same way,I'm tired of other races disrespecting us,that's why we should have stayed segregated!!​@@loulou7963

@@rocketman-qb9so For real though thanks for being strong enough to say that. 😂 I don't want wan't any races help though. They have done enough.

That's why Black folks should research their OWN History.....that store should have been boycotted forever.

Hey, I grew up in the Mississippi delta too!! I'm from Clarksdale, about 40 minutes from Money. My mother was 5 when Emmett Till was murdered and she said she remembers it because my grandparents talked about it at night when all of the kids went to bed.

My mom and her family lived in the delta of Mississippi. My grandfather owned and farmed his own land. I remember the stories my mom and family would tell. After my dad passed, in 1967, my mom refused to take my brother and there back there. Wise decision on her part.

The men who murdered Emmett, both died as paupers and with cancer. If mankind won't bring justice, then nature will!

Thats so dang sad .bless your grandfather for being so nice though.some people are just pure evil .thank god your grandfather wasnt.

Those who supported that behavior are from The United Kingdom.

@@gigigiseleworld many here supported that behaviour and still do- Some cringe At The thought Of Segregation - Black and White people alike - it’s not just whites who do NOT want to mix - if this is the case I say SO BENIT - make it So - but NEVER, ever kill and maim another human being even if they are not white - What an absolute tragedy

Amen 🙏

He's not resting in peace . He's dead!

For whistling

This is the United States'of America need I say more...

Absolutely

Rest to sure they had many nightmares your demons were taught you for the rest of their lives

Don’t worry! These horrible people may have not served justice for what they did to Emmett here on Earth. But, they got served when they stood before God. Murdering a child in the way Emmett was murdered isn’t something God overlooks. No way! The woman who lied about Emmett didn’t escape judgement either. I believe these three cretins are burning in hell and rightfully so. Emmett was tortured most likely for hours. I don’t think he was dead when they threw him into the river. It’s one of the reasoned they tied a fan to his neck. They didn’t want him to scream or be seen. That, and weighing him down would mean he wouldn’t be found. These people are not anywhere near Emmett in Heaven.

All roads lead to England

It's called The White rascist world it's still happening 2023

Sheila Harris, the white racist world will end one day and that’s when the last human being dies.

@@sheilaharris787 Mostly by black males killing other black males.

So why do people think things are worse now. No things were worse back then.

The team got paid to share a black story. Trust NONE of them. I bet ms Till didn’t receive a dime. Fuck um all.

They made sure that the so called change only included white ppl nobody black stay woke. His memory AINT kept alive. It’s tarnished and white ppl are still benefiting from it 😤🤬😢😢😢😢😢

Sooo beautiful too

What a woman ❤

Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

We'll all be judged.

He already has. Her husband and his friend both died from cancer, broke, which means that she's broke too.

Justice would have been living his life. Not even accountability will be had for this family. Shameful. 😊❤

Why do folks feel it necessary to post that they cried over calamity? Crying over such horror done to another human being is nothing special. Tired of hearing the "I cried", "I'm in tears" mess.
