Emmett Till Complete Bio & Career

Born on 25 July 1941, Emmett Louis Till was lynched after he offended a white woman. He received his education from James Mccosh Elementary School. Due to a lack of opportunity and unequal treatment, he with his family shifted to the north. Black people lived there as sharecroppers. There was widespread racism against blacks. He was industrious by nature and was the center of attraction among his peers. He was an icon of the civil rights movement.
 
It was said that Till flirted with the white woman at the grocery store. Bryant accused Till of making physical advances towards her. At that time, it was not allowed for African-American men to talk to the white woman. But what actually happened at the store is still not clear. People differ in the incident. James said that Till was having one photograph and in the photograph, he referred to the white girl as his girlfriend. He further said that some boys challenged Till to speak to Bryant. But his cousin, Simeon Wright presented a different version of the incident. He stated that Till did not possess any photograph and no one dared him to speak to Bryant. He asserted that Till whistled at her by way of fun.
 
The incident became so serious and became the talk of the town. The matter reached the court. When Bryant’s husband came to know about the incident, he became agitated and decided to beat Till. They started looking out for him and founded him. Till confessed before them that he talked to Bryant. Later on, they killed Till and after some time passed, admitted also.
