In this episode, we delve into one of the most pivotal and tragic cases in American history: the brutal murder of Emmett Till. In 1955, 14-year-old Emmett, an African American boy from Chicago, was visiting relatives in Mississippi when he was accused of offending a white woman. The accusation led to his abduction, torture, and lynching by two white men, whose subsequent trial and acquittal would shock the nation.We explore the details of Emmett’s life, the events leading up to his murder, and the aftermath that fueled the Civil Rights Movement. We examine the profound impact this case had on American society and how it continues to resonate today. This episode is a sobering reminder of the deep-seated racism that once dominated the American South and the courage of those who fought for justice in its wake.
