Can you imagine the amount of hatred you have to have in you to do that to a child?!
It's unfathomable to me

His memory is a blessing. Poor boy. Glad you aren’t hurting anymore.

Emmett Till’s story and the story of James Byrd, Jr here in Texas (Jasper) will forever be etched in my brain. These two stories always bring me to tears.

I am not an American, but every time I hear about the barbaric, gruesome inhumane murder of Emmit Till I feel so heart broken. This is so so so sad. How can human be so cruel to each other. It looks like nothing has changed in America to this day.

This pissed me off.Justice for Emmett Till. At 14 or 15 we were all childish and said stupid stuff, does not mean that we deserve to die.

His Mother was exceptional how she dealt with the pain of knowing how her baby died
Amen to that lady ❤
