It is, they wanted #EmmetTill in the ground where he was murdered. It was his courageous mother who fought for recognition of what horrors had befallen her teenage son on a visit to an inherently hostile state.
“I could be a coroner right now,” she said, “and I have absolutely no medical training.”
#EmmetTill
I first saw the photograph of Emmett Till in his coffin years ago but it had a profound effect on me. The bravery of his Mother and the look on his Father's face are etched in my mind too.
She’s a White woman in
America. You can take her word to the bank. Just ask all the innocent lynched Black men in cemeteries around the country. Oh!!! I know! Let’s start with #GeorgeStinny or #EmmetTill.
Grow the fuck up
😂 I’m just stunned numb by how trump got away with the insurrection and stealing government documents, and has the audacity to claim mistreatment, when there’s been centuries of #TrevonMartin, #GeorgeFloyd, #EmmetTill, #SonyaMassey - people who never got close to having ‘due process’ or justice. 😢
As, I spent 1 hr looking for my great grandmother’s grave in Alsip, IL at Burr Cemetery. I didn’t have any luck finding it, but, I did come across EmmetTill grave. #EmmetTill
