EMMETT TILL THE MURDER THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
In August 1955, a 14-year-old African American boy named Emmett Till went into a Mississippi grocery store to buy a 2 cent stick of gum.
The Chicago teenager was visiting the Southern state that summer, staying with his uncle Mose Wright in the town of Money.
In the family-owned grocery store, Emmett was served by Carolyn Bryant, a 21-year-old married white woman.
