Explanation:
Who was Emmet Till and what happened to him in 1955?
Emmet Till was an African American teenager from the South Chicago, Illinois. On August 28, he was kidnapped, tortured and brutally murdered by two White men named J.W. Milam and his brother Roy Bryant, both white, accusing him of allegedly misbehaving to the wife of Roy Bryant in her family grocery store.
What happened to Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam and the media discourse?
Both white defendants J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant were accused of the crime. They were unfortunately found not guilty by an all-male, all-white jury, which came as no surprise to anyone. The men were found not guilty and were let free to live their lives based on the argument that the body had no identity that it belonged to Emmet.
Emmet Till's Murder and the Movement
The incident gave rise to a full-fledged movement against the court conviction of the murderers, which was flamed by the open casket funeral arranged by Emmet's mother Mamie Till Bradley. This sparked the Civil Rights Movement and still continue to be taught and addressed in the recent Black Lives Matter movements.
