Description

This is an original 1955 Life Magazine detailing the murder and trial of Emmett Till. Note that this magazine has folded page damage in the upper right hand corner and shown in photos.

Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was an African American teenager who was abducted and lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman, Carolyn Bryant, in her family's grocery store. The brutality of his murder and the acquittal of his killers drew attention to the long history of violent persecution of African Americans in the United States. Till posthumously became an icon of the civil rights movement.
