In the research project I will be researching about Emmett Till. In This paragraph I will be talking about Emmett Till’s Childhood. Emmett Till was born on July 25 but unlike like most he died when he was only fourteen on August 28, 1955. Till’s nickname was Bobo. He didn’t have a normal childhood either, in fact he had polio at age 5. Luckily he recovered but he still had a slight stutter for the rest of his life. He was born in a middle-class neighborhood, has black owned businesses, in Chicago. Emmett Till’s mother’s name was Mamie Till, who graduated from a predominantly white school and got all A’s. Emmet father’s name was Louis Till who separated from Mrs.Till when Emmett was 1 year old, and died at France away for the military when Emmett was 3 years old. So Emmett never really knew his dad, while his mom was a single parent who worked more than 12 hours of the day at the Air Force.
In this paragraph I will talk about Emmett Till’s reason for being in Mississippi. Emmett Till was known to be responsible, funny, and high spirited. Till attended an All black McCosh Grammar School. His friend, Richard, also agreed that Till was a funny person. His Great Uncle, Moses Wright was visiting them in Chicago when Till begged his mom to go back with him to Money, Mississippi to see his cousins. His mom didn’t really want him to go, and she preferred for him to go with her on a road trip to Omaha, Nebraska. She eventually agreed for him to go with his Uncle Moses. So Till went back with his Uncle to visit his cousin.
In this paragraph I will be explaining what happened to Emmett Till on August 24, 1955 causing him to die on August 28, 1955. While Emmet Till was in Mississippi, him and some other teenagers decided to go to the store for a drink after a long day of cotton picking. While at the store Till was accused of whistling at Carolyn Bryant, a white woman who was a cashier at the grocery store. Four days later Bryant’s husband Roy and his half-brother J.W. Milam kidnapped Till at 2:30am and beat him. Then he was shot in the back of the head, and was tied with barbed wire to a metal fan and shoved into the Tallahatchie River. Three days later his body was found eight miles downstream by a boy named Robert Hodges.
Last this is all about the trial of Emmett Till’s Murder. The two men, Mr.Bryant and Mr. Milam, was arrested on the same day of Till’s murder but was allowed bail for a certain amount of money. On September 19, 1955 their jury selection began. With all the evidence pointing them guilty, they were found not guilty. Later his family had an open casket funeral, and 50,000 people showed up, helping emerge the Civil Rights Movement. Later about 60 years later, older Carolyn Bryant admitted in an interview that she had lied about Till whistling at her because she felt bad for Till’s Mom. I conclude my research project about one of the major reasons that emerged the Civil Rights Movements.
