    Dinah's mother, is buried directly to her left. I've put flowers on their graves many times. I loved me some Dinah. I have a family member, buried close to Emmitt.

    Such a fitting song “This Bitter Earth” to hear while visiting Emmett Till’s grave. I was just a child when my mom ran literally from Mississippi. They were killing us children back then… and our parents were scared. Be grateful young man.. always be grateful you live in a better time.. then back then. 🙏🏾

That boy had such a beautiful face and his poor mother. OMG I cant believe this went on. How could that lady that lied live with herself all those years especially when her own cousin admitted nothing happened.

It s just a figment of our imagination. Danger is real. And you're WISE to understand that what to Emmett means it can happen to anybody. But we still have to walk with no fear, and do what is good and right for ALL. xo I love you, son.

      By law, Emmett had to be reburied in a new casket. And his old casket was stored in a shed, and eventually given to the Smithsonian.
