The murder of a 14-year old black boy Emmett Till in Money,
Mississippi in August 1955 sparked the Civil Rights movement,
but the crime won’t sound clarion calls for a nation to wake up to if not for the above photo.
The gruesome photographs of Till’s mutilated corpse circulated around the country, notably appearing in Jet magazine,
which targeted African American crowd. The photo drew intense public reaction. Till, while visiting Mississippi from Chicago,
whistled* at a married white woman and incurred the wrath of local white residents.
In the middle of the night,
the door to his grandfather’s house was thrown open,
and Emmett was taken by the mob of at least six white men,
forced into a truck and driven away, never again to be seen alive.
Till’s body was found swollen and disfigured in the Tallahatchie river three days after his abduction and only identified by his ring.
It was sent back to Chicago,
where his mother insisted on leaving the casket open for the funeral and on having people take photographs because she wanted people to see how badly
Till’s body had been disfigured—she has famously been quoted as saying, “I wanted the world to see what they did to my baby.” Up to 50,000 people viewed the body.
On the day he was buried, two men — the husband of the woman who had been whistled at and his half brother — were indicted of his murder,
but the 12-member all-white male jury (some of whom actually participated in Till’s torture and execution) took only an hour to return ‘not guilty’ verdict.
The verdict would have been quicker, remarked the grinning foreman, if the jury hadn’t taken a break for a soft drink on the way to the deliberation room.
To add insult to injury, knowing that they would not be retrial, the two accused men sold their stories to LOOK magazine and happily admitted to everything.
Elsewhere in Mississippi too, things weren’t going terribly well for blacks either.
Just before Till was murdered, two activists Rev. George Lee and Lamar Smith were shot dead for trying to exercise their rights to vote,
and in a shocking testimony to lack of law and order, no one came forward to testify although both murders were committed in broad daylight.
The next year, Clyde Kennard, a former army sergeant, tried to enrolled at Mississippi South College in Hatiesburg in 1956. He was sent away,
but came back to ask again. For this ‘audacity’, university officials — not students, or mere citizens, but university officials —
planted stolen liquor and a bag of stolen chicken feed in his car and had him arrested. Kennard died halfway into his seven year sentence.
But times were slowly a-changing: Brown vs. Board of Education was decided in 1954, and three months after the Till murder took place,
Rosa Parks would refuse to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Sit-ins and marches would follow, and soon the civil rights
movement itself would be in fullswing.
(Details were evidently murky: some said he asked Carolyn Bryant out on a date; some said he suggested to her that he had already been with white girls.
Some said he showed her a photo of his white girlfriends. Others insist that the photo was that of Hedy Lamarr which came with his wallet.)

The 1943 Detroit race riots
Detroit Race Riots Began On This Day In 1943
In Detroit a race-fueled riot that lasted
for days, left dozens dead and countless
others injured. Of the persons killed,
25 were African American and 17 of that group
were struck down by police officers.
Even as World War II was transforming
Detroit into the Arsenal of Democracy,
cultural and social upheavals brought about by the need
for workers to man the bustling factories threatened to turn the city into a domestic battleground.
It was Aug. 11, 1965, that Los Angeles police officer Lee Minikus
tried to arrest Marquette Frye for driving drunk in the city’s Watts
neighborhood—an event that led to one of the most infamous race riots
in American history. By the time the week was over, nearly three dozen people were dead
Tensions over police brutality had been building in 1967 Detroit for years. More than 95 percent
of the police force was white and perceived as a “white occupying”
force in a city that had suffered from entrenched racism, segregation and lack of jobs.
The Earle Race Riot of 1970 broke out in the late evening of September 10 and continued into the early hours of September 11, 1970.
The violence erupted when a group of whites armed with guns and clubs attacked a group of unarmed African Americans who were marching
to the Earle (Crittenden County) city hall to protest segregated conditions in the town’s school system.
Five African Americans were wounded, including two women who were shot (one wounded seriously), but they all survived.
