ON A FAMILY ROAD-CATION FROM BOSTON, WE MADE A STOP IN CHICAGO AND VISITED THE CHILDHOOD HOME OF EMMETT TILL, THE YOUNG HERO OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. MAY FOREVER REST IN PEACE
Wow--I'm sorry my father sold that home. I lived there for a few months in 1963. My family bought it from Mrs Alma Spearman, Emmit's grandmother.Emmit's mother, Mrs Mamie Till Mobley was a long-time friend of the family and member of our Church--Evangelistic Crusaders COGIC --where my late father, Supt. George Liggins, and my dear mother, who is 90 years old, Mother Georgia Liggins, were the founders. Just a little background to the story. Be blessed. Rita Liggins Fielder Fannings
I watched the video of emmett Till today at school, i am a freshman and I was in shock at how ignorant white people were back than. I am white but my best friends are all black and they are the same as any white person. I hope one day this case can be reopened.
