Stories like these are not stories you tell a child. A kids mind is like a sponge and to tell or teach a young child white or black is a disservice and would not produce any kind of positive. This is a moment in our history that a college or high school child learns about.

My father told me that Mamie was his 4th grade teacher. They used to ask her if she would have more kids after Emmett and she told them all once, "No. I'll never bring another child into this world." That story always made me feel terrible when my daddy told it to me.

Good morning Lynn. You said; "I'll never bring another child into this world." Now, Lynn. No disrespect for Mamie Till. But she did not have a child for 14 years after Emmett was born. What would have been her reason for those 14 years. _________________________ The truth be known, Mamie married her 4th husband at age 36. Which would have meant that she cold have had a child at 37. In those time 30 was the age at which you did not have more children. It was considered DANGEROUS to have a child at 35

@@LadeeLibra646 "I had my last child 36 and he was fine." Absolutely. And millions or women did. Maybe it was an irrational fear. I am just saying that might have been a factor. And Mamie might have been so incredibly devastated by the loss of Emmett, she just did not want to climb back on that horse again. Plus Mamie had moved on. The tragedy propelled Mamie into her education, getting a BS, and Ms, teaching, she had a fully productive life.

Emmett Till's murder was a watershed moment in the civil rights movement. That last senseless violent death POC were willing to tolerate. Rosa Parks said she thought of Emmett Till the second before she made her stance against racist laws. Miss Maime's boy did not die in vain. Below is an excerpt from Parks' interview with Eyes on the Prize a documentary television series about Civil Rights Movement. Parks later said about being asked to move to the rear of the bus, "I thought of Emmett Till - a 14-year-old African American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after being accused of offending a white woman in her family's grocery store, whose killers were tried and acquitted - and I just couldn't go back." Blake said, "Why don't you stand up?" Parks responded, "I don't think I should have to stand up." Blake called the police to arrest Parks. When recalling the incident for Eyes on the Prize, a 1987 public television series on the Civil Rights Movement, Parks said, "When he saw me still sitting, he asked if I was going to stand up, and I said, 'No, I'm not.' And he said, 'Well, if you don't stand up, I'm going to have to call the police and have you arrested.' I said, 'You may do that.''

I'm here by way of Mobile Instinct. I think I'll hang around a while. Looks like I have two new channels to subscribe to....but honestly, thank you for shedding more light on this subject. The Emmett Till story makes me more emotional than any movie scene I've ever watched. His mother was a smart, brave woman. She KNEW that Mississippi authorities were going to try to sweep this under the rug. Controversial as it was, publishing his photos gave the whole "sunshine and rainbows" crowd a REAL glimpse into the potential horror of what some garbage people will try to get away with. Instead of Chicago having an unsolved missing person case, and Mississippi having an unidentified John Doe she turned on the proverbial flashlight and told the world "Look at what they did! Don't just hear the rumors, and the tales spun by the guilty party's associates...but LOOK at what they did!" I'm rambling a bit...sorry. It's a bad habit of mine...but I think the double jeopardy amendment should have an addendum...because people who fool the juries and judges of the world and get out of criminal charges can LITERALLY say out loud "yea, I did it" and because there's already been a trial, nothing can be done. I understand the usefulness of the amendment, but much like any common Batman storyline, someday someone important will realize there's circumstances in which protective laws become shackles. The concept conceived to aid an innocent person has been used the wrong way, and now the law is working against itself. Futility. The art of defeating the purpose.

The sheriff tried to bury Emmett in Mississippi, but Mamie was able to mobilize all sorts of political powers in Chicago to thwart the plan. Emmett's body was shipped back with a sealed coffin and instructions that it NOT be breached. Mamie had it opened regardless and proceeded to leave it open for the wake, attended by THOUSANDS. Her decision changed history.

Yea true. I honestly would laugh it off too😂😂. Kids can be outspoken at times and its funny at times. A British woman came to my country and I thought she looked attractive and I approached and said "Hey, where you from? She answered. I said " You look really beautiful so I wanted to say hello and welcome to our country." She smiled and said "awww thanks so much" and we went our separate ways. But seriously what they did to him was brutal and awful. That woman should rot in hell for causing his death and lying and those 2 men should rot in hell for having to will and evil heart to torture and kill an innocent 14 year old boy. We live in a seriously fucked up world and that's why he's dead😒. Never forgotten💔

They changed his casket because they did a DNA test on his body because they claimed the body wasnt his so they had him exhumed to test his body. Of course it was him but when he was removed from the original casket they put the old one was thrown in a shed. They eventually got the casket and restored it they want to put it in a museum about civil rights.

Emmett was a very handsome child and I can see he had joy in him looking into his eyes in the picture. My heart hurts for him, but for his mother. I have so much respect for standing strong and not allowing the sheriff for the burial of Emmett in Mississippi. By being a strong woman she allowed the world to know what had happened to her son. When it's gone past the point of having her son alive it's time to fight for your child. Fight for the world to see and move people to put a stop to these horrible murders. She help light the fire for civil rights. And I hope she had some peace in the end. There so much more to this story that's came out. And I hope the full turth will come out and by investigation find all who was involved for guilty. Dead or alive those people names should go down in history as the murders as associated with the murder of a young man, who was turly still a child. Not guilty verdicts should be over turned because there was never a full investigation or fair trail for justice of Emmett murder most foul.

I'm sorry, but there is no way in hell I would have allowed Emmett to visit Mississippi had he been my son, knowing his personality AND knowing the degree of racism that existed there. I'm sure Emmett's mother warned him to watch his behavior, but do all 14 year olds listen to everything their parents say? No. To this day, it breaks my heart when I think of how terrified Emmett must have been in his last hours. Hatred is one of the most destructive things on earth. And it will cause OUR destruction if we don't wake up.

While the story of Emmett Till is truly tragic one other young man comes to mind. George Stinney who was falsely accused of murder, imprisoned, and found guilty. He was still a child when he was executed in the electric chair in South Carolina in 1948, I believe only 12 or 14 years old. He was not allowed to speak to his parents and the lawyer assigned to defend him did nothing. Maybe you should visit the grave of this poor child so no one forgets what hate does.

11:40 Emmett's dad, Louis Till, is buried in what is known as the "5th Field" in the Oise-Aisne American Cemetery in France. It is a special area not open to the public and contains the unmarked graves of about 95 US soldiers who were executed for crimes during WW2. I realize not pertinent to the story but Lamont mentions is so I just wanted to give a couple more details. When Emmett was murdered he was wearing a ring that had belonged to his father, and that is one of the ways Mamie was able to identify him :-(
