Till, an African American boy from Chicago, traveled to visit his family in Mississippi where he allegedly whistled at Carolyn Bryant, a white woman. Several days later, her husband, Roy Bryant, and his half-brother, J.W. Milam, kidnapped Till, tortured him for hours, and shot him in the head.

The details of Till’s murder were gruesome beyond words. His body was found floating in the Tallahatchie River with a cotton gin fan tied around his neck. The Mississippi jury acquitted Bryant and Milam in 1955, despite overwhelming evidence of their guilt.

Till’s mother, Mamie Bradley, insisted on an open casket funeral so the world could witness the brutality inflicted upon her son. The image of Till’s mutilated body became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. It galvanized African Americans and white allies alike to fight against racial inequality and discrimination.

In 2007, Milam confessed to killing Till in a magazine interview. Bryant died before the trial, denying any involvement. Despite the confessions, the FBI closed the case in 2007 without pursuing any charges.

The Blood of Emmett Till serves as a haunting reminder of the systemic racism that continues to plague our society. The murder of Till and the failure of the justice system to hold his killers accountable expose the deep-rooted prejudices that have shaped American history.
