Just when I thought I was done with my blog book .. Who Killed Emmett Till?

The Bryant grocery store in Money, Miss.

More news on the death of Emmett Till's father, Pvt. Louis Till, and comments continue to flow in. Just posted a page of comments by a woman who lived in Chicago at the time of the funeral.

Chicago Woman Remembers Murder of Emmett Till; Talks About Pvt. Louis Till, Emmett's Father

Comment –

Emmett Till’s murder is something one never forgets. I was born and raise in Chicago, and was about five years old when he was killed and remember when it happened and saw the Jet magazine photos, and I was scared to death, shocked really and questioned my mother who was from Greenwood, Mississippi, asking her why would two grown men kill a child and what is a "wolf whistle", and are these men coming after us? She assured me that these men where not coming to get us, explained what a "wolf whistle" was and meant in relations to that, and as a side bar note, told me that I ask too many questions. (smile) But every child in our area was afraid for a long time. Over the years I have never forgotten him, and have read just about everything I have come across about him every time his name is mentioned somewhere. Just recently his name came up again, with the incident at Burr Oak Cemetery. Somehow I feel his death is not resolved.
