    Emmett Till was murdered #OTD in 1955 in Mississippi. He was 14. To show the world the brutality, his mother distributed a photograph of his corpse for publication in newspapers and magazines and later said: “The whole nation had to bear witness to this.” https://bit.ly/3hPTnNH pic.twitter.com/1h6HlxWRZ6

        ...that didn't change them either. Seemed to have made them happy enough to continue.

        Remember Emmett Till time time someone says "Believe all women", remember him too when someone says "No one says believe ALL women we just mean believe women". Many women and men with personalities like women would like to ban To Kill a Mockingbird because they say it's racist.

        Mamie Till is an American hero. She used her grief, her unimaginable tragedy to make America a better place. The arc of history is long but it bends toward justice because of people like Mamie Till.
