Story of Joe Pullen, Eighth Post on Blog Book, Who Killed Emmett Till?

Just put up the eighth post on my blog book, Who Killed Emmett Till?. It's a fascinating account of a returning black veteran's murder in Drew, Miss. Would appreciate your comments. You can take a look at http://whokilledemmetttill.com or at http://emmett-till.com.

Joe Pullen's murder is considered a watershed event. For the first time, outside media reported on the attack and a president was asked to intervene, as well. It's a story told over and over again in the civil rights movement.

To have charges made that a prosecutor was allegedly part of a mob chasing a black man in the Delta this past week, only a few miles away from where Pullen was chased and killed, is a rather amazing thing. I would hope the FBI and Department of Justice follow through and investigate this story.
