Emmett Till was a real-life black fourteen-year-old living in Mississippi in the racially tense time of the 1950s. One day, on the street with some friends, Till whistled at a white woman leaving a store. The woman told her friends and husband about the incident, and they were greatly angered. They kidnapped Till, beat him savagely, shot him, and dumped him in the river. When the body was finally found, it was so disfigured from the beatings that it was difficult to identify. Till’s mother had to make the tough decision of whether she wanted the funeral open-casket, and decided to do it so the world could see what the men had done to her son. The men responsible went on trial and were all acquitted (found not guilty) by an all-white jury.
