    Had he not been murdered, Emmett Till would have been only a few years older than both our presidential candidates this year. The past isn't that far past.https://twitter.com/EmmeTillcenter/status/1321974601954529281 …

        I think about that a lot...Emmett Till could be my parents’ peer. Would have been.

        That’s true in more ways than one considering the Republicans still use racial anxiety, i.e., racism to divide the electorate and win elections.

        Thanks for keeping us up to date with all the late-breaking Emmett Till news. It's strange, though, how we are never alerted to any Louis Till news ...

        I'm never reminded how old Nicole Brown Simpson or Ron Goldman would be. Nor the victims of Freddy's Fashion Mart or Crown Heights. Till was killed for whistling at a white woman. Not seeing how that's more of a travesty than the reasons these people listed above were killed.

        I wonder what organization is responsible for reminding us of the memory of Benni Lucretzia, Elana Lucretzia, Frieda Mari, & Anna Zanchi? Does the Till family mourn & remember the victims of Louis Till? If not why should remember Emmett?

        Yep. The authoritarian regime under which Blacks lived “ended” the year I was born.

        I had the same thought when I realized Anne Frank would likely still be alive.
