Remembering Emmett Till

It was 65 years ago today that a Black Chicago teen was brutally murdered in Mississippi.

In 1955.

That's when 14-year old Emmett Till was accused of whistling at a white woman while visiting family.

Days later, a group of white men tortured him repeatedly and murdered him.
