  • In the end, it's funny how the murderers, their wives, and the sheriffs all had horrible deaths. God is good.

  • The past is the past!

  • @LuckyBlueEyez ...I'm assuming you aren't black.

  • @jessicaisabossduh Whatever nationality I am ...the past is still the past. It was a tragedy no doubt and what these two men did was unimaginable. However they are both dead. Carolyn merely told her husband what young Mr. Till did. She broke no law and she was not a part of the actual murder. She cannot be charged with the crime. The two responsible are in their graves. There are cases where justice simply cannot be had. Assuming I am not black has nothing to do with the events or my statement.

  • I'm a 14 year old girl and I also cried when I first heard this in my civics class yesterday. I didn't cry loud enough for people to know, but I did cry. On top of the obvious fact that he was killed for all the wrong reasons, he was cute!!!! -:( And idk why but I'm scared now. Idk what I'm scared of. It's not like these types of things happen as often anymore, though there still are hate groups such as the KKK. Idk, I'm just scared. It might just be the picture of his body that scared me.

  • I'm a 14 year old white Male from LA. California,

    When I heard about this story I was in school, and I broke down in front of my whole class when my teacher played the movie.

    I Just can't believe this would happen to someone.

    Racism is a terrible thing.

    And if I would have grown up in 1955 then I would have been protesting, No matter what my parent's taught me. This is crule and make's no since. How could a human being treat another human being like he was treated?!

  • He was such a cute child! No kid deserves to die like that...

  • they will have to answer to god in the kingdom of heaven on thier judgement day

  • this is a horriable tragedy this just proves we are not equal and for the retarded idiot that said he came from a era of liers are you crazy i dot wish nothing like this on no one but you are some one who deserves to go straight to hell and burn there with the son of Bitches who murderd this young boy in cold blood cause he looked at some stank as white bitch you can go to HELLLLL!

  • We just pray that these STUPID and SENSELESS things will stop. We would love to live in a world where we could say we pray they never happen again, but we know they do and that is the part that worries me.

  • When I saw his face I could not believe another human could have done this... He was a handsome boy too!! Bless his soul!!!

  • My school showed us a Documentary about Emmitt, and god! when we seen his face, we all upchucked our breakfast...

  • very well put together. I enjoyed watching it!

  • i think i fully understand why black people get hot over horrible things like that!!! those black people were HEROES!!

  • Alot has changed.....or has it? I can not imagine how his mother felt. Not having any power and seeing the men that killed her child walk free. If we all sit and think about how things were back then, and how they are today we could get an appreciation of how far we have come......and also how far we have yet to go. Racism is still around, on both sides. It's just not out in the open like it use to be. There is a much bigger picture people, at the end of the day.....we are all human beings.

  • i would have been executed, because i would have shot the bastards. i always say if someone messes with my kids, one of us is going to end up dead. it might be me, but whoever it is, is going to know they have been in a fight. his poor mama was a better woman than i will ever be. but if you look, none of the men who killed him prospered after this. granted, they were alive, but if you look at what happened, their lives were pretty much crap after this. but still, i don't know the answers.

  • This is really a disturbing thing that happened to a 14yr old boy. I'm from Mississippi & the harsh realities of what life was like before I was born is upsetting. I can't believe how white men thought they were so much superior than a black man. There was no need to torture a child to that extent or do anything at all for that matter. All I can do is pray for Emmett's soul. I know that on judgement day our Almighty God will do what is just in His eyes.

  • Believe me they suffered in this life too before they passed. We just didn't hear anything about it. You know carolyn bryant suffered too for being a grown woman initiating the whole thing.

  • i like the song...though i think they mispelled things.

    i really do like this though.

    i'm kinda of obsessed with this entire case

  • may his murderes ROTT in hell!

  • I'm afraid that won't happen on this side of life. But they will certainly pay in the next one. The Judge of the Universe takes no prisoners and plays no games. Those two wretches who escaped justice this time will stand before the Supreme Court Of The Universe next time.

  • omg see his face when he got killed? those bastards need to pay propper!

  • His face was worse than this - this is the cleaned up version...

    Read his Mom's book if you can find it - she wrote it before she died, telling all she knew at the time (Emmitt's cousins spoke up more once she died - check out the YT vids on it). There were black men involved in this killing too, the pawns forced to do most of the damage (otherwsie they would have been hung out to dry)

    There are a few incorrrect things stated on this vid, but overall good.
