"TILL"



His death resulted in the passage of H.R.55 - Emmett Till Antilynching Act
This bill makes lynching a federal hate crime offense.

Specifically, the bill imposes criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 30 years, or both—on an individual who conspires to commit a hate crime offense that results in death or serious bodily injury or that includes kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.

Passed 67 years after his death in 2022
and signed into law on March 29, 2022, by President Joe Biden

The real Emmitt Till story


Death photos showing the brutality they did to him;

He had a bullet hole in the head, barbed wire around his neck, an eye gouged out and other ghastly wounds. His body was dumped in the muddy Tallahatchie River.

and so it ends:

Emmett Till accuser Carolyn Brant dies at 88
A white woman from Mississippi whose 1955 accusation against a black teenager Emmett Till led to his murder has died.

Carolyn Bryant Donham's death at age 88 closes a chapter on one of the most infamous lynchings in US history.

Prosecutors sought charges against her for the killing of Till, 14, up until the year before her death.

Last year they failed to convince a grand jury that she should be put on trial for kidnapping and manslaughter.

A statement from the Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley Institute said that they "wish mercy on her soul, even as we regret that she never took responsibility for her role" in Till's murder.

"While the world saw the horrors of racism in Emmett's murder, the real consequences of hatred, what the world will never now see is remorse or responsibility for his death."

The Chicago boy was visiting family when he entered a store in Money, Mississippi, where Donham, then 21, worked.

Donham accused him of making improper advances and harassing her while she was alone in the shop.

The two kidnappers - Roy Bryant and JW Milam - were arrested over the murder, but were quickly acquitted by an all-white jury.

They later admitted to the killing in a magazine interview, but could not be re-tried under US law. Both are now dead.

A cracking movie...nothing like hunting down some Nazis. You can see the Quentin Tarantino influence in it.
