Eyes on the prize part 1

The story of Emmett Til was about a 14 year old boy from Chicago who was murdered for whistling at a white woman in Mississippi. It breaks my heart to know that the people who killed him had such antipathy for Emmett to do this to him. He was beaten with an eye gouged out and thrown into the Tallahatchie river with a cotton gin tied to his neck by barbed wire. How could anyone be dispassionate about this situation? His mother insisted to have a public funeral for the world to see the brutality that was taken place. Different stories about the incident were told when the word spread throughout Tallahatchie county. It was said that Till went in a grocery store with friends after cotton picking. He was dared to speak to the woman and said bye baby on his way out. Till's cousin told people that he had only whistled to the woman but she had a completely different story. The actual event that took place is still an enigma. Even though the men that did this to him are dead now, I still feel that this story should be told over and over to show the world how malevolent people can be.
