The Legacy and Memory of Emmett Till

Mamie Till's decision to let the world see the hate inflicted on her only son was among earliest galvanizing moments of the civil rights movement. Historian Jim Herm has spent years studying the enduring impact of Emmett Till's murder. He will share what he's learned during a presentation at Willard Library at 6 p.m. Thursday. Join us at the library, or watch it here.

That book is a READ!!!! Please read it.

I was done when you stated that the guy who wrote that book never met Emmetts mother then the information must be false.

He's wrong, though. He did meet and speak with her for over 6 years. It's in the 2nd chapter of the book.

I wonder if Mamie ever met Muhammad Ali?
