This disappointed me to no end! Rest in peace emmit till :(

Let's not forget that those men were found NOT GUILTY. Emmett Till's uncle answered the door because it was the 50s in rural and racist Mississippi; which by the way was the Lynching Capitol of the country. Rent the entire Eyes of the Prize series...perhaps that will answer some questions for you.

@39tommyboy Yep!

[39tommyboy]

i wonder why he told the men that the boy was staying with him? or even opened the door? i guess they would have kicked the door in and just took the boy and killed all of them if he did huh?

If your'e angry after watching this video. Please don't take it out on me, I wasn't even born. The vast majority of white Southerners had nothing to do with this. Most of the racial problems were caused by by white supremists, KKK and fights with "outside agitators (as they were known back then). The average white Joe Six Pack was just sitting at home watching it on TV shaking his head. White people didn't like the violence either. KKK made us look bad.

That's why it's important that we have this kind of footage available. To show people, of any race and walk, the capacity of human hatred.

whistling at a woman is no reason for murder.i know this was a different time and place but it is so trivial
