Dr. Vanessa Tyler revisits the death of Emmett Till on what would have been his 84th birthday. Emmett Till was a 14 year old boy visiting Mississippi from Chicago in 1955 when he was abducted and brutally murdered by a gang of white men because he whistled at a white lady. Museums in Mississippi commemorate this pivotal point in American history and the Civil Rights Movement with a new display of the gun that killed young Emmett.
