The picture of Emmet Till in his casket is such a powerful image. Powerful, in so far as you KNOW that he is a 14 year old kid, and ADULTS did that to him.
It always shocks me how so often the perpetrators of discrimination describe their victims as 'less than' or 'like animals', believing that this somehow gives them permission to commit such crimes of humanity, like they're protecting the rest of the population from 'the wild ones'. But in reality, anyone who is so brutish to their fellow man is really the animal themselves....

Thereās not a black person alive especially here in Chicago that did not grow up hearing about Emmett Till. He was only 14 years old at the time, it took place in Money , Mississippi 1955. That was such a shame. If Mr. Till were alive today he would be 80 years old.
