[QUOTE="HotNewHipHop, post: 47485, member: 83"] Emmett Till's story goes down as one of the most catastrophic and gut-wrenching events of all time. What was supposed to be a trip to Mississippi to visit family quickly turned into a horrific nightmare for the 14-year-old who was accused of whistling at a white woman by the name of Carolyn Bryant. After such allegations were made, Till, residing in Chicago, was violently beaten, shot, lynched, and then dumped into the river. The two men in question, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, had been acquitted of all of their charges at the time by an all-white jury. However, just a year later, they went on to admit to the act in a magazine interview.
