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.
