Why Is Emmett Till Wrong
Emmet Till was a fourteen year- old boy brutally murdered on August 24th 1955. When he repeatedly flirted with a white cashier at a grocery store. Four days later Till was kidnapped by two white men, J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, who were brothers, they beat him and shot him dead in the head. The white men were approved for murder, although, a bias, white-all male jury freed them. Till’s open casket funeral aroused the emerging Civil Rights Movement.
In my opinion, Emmett Till was a naïve young boy who had plenty left to see in life. He probably didn’t even know yet what not to do and what to do, in an unjust society in which he was living in.
He was a brash, mischievous youngster who was just having fun, and was not expecting such consequences.
