Where is his sense of shame? Wow, his father helped to torture and murder a Black child and he feels no shame.
Are we totally lacking any sense of honor? Do we have any principles?
His Father, Henry Lee Loggins, left Mississippi for Chicago in 1955. Thomas was just an infant. Thomas did not see his father again until he was 9 year old. As saw him very seldom after that.
Same thing I said I would be Shane to tell anybody my daddy was a sick sob
@@seldomseen3574Why is it so obvious for you and not for others?
@@freemn idk 🤷♀️ but honestly he should just sit this one out! His dad was a sick sob! He helped kidnap and kill a child! A black child at that .
I think this man has suffered deep shame all of his life. Knowing that his dad was involved in one of the most notorious lynchings in US history, he has to hang his head in shame! He is giving new information on what happened to Emmett, like where his body was dumped in the river
This gentleman spoke of Carolyn Bryant's arrest warrant 9 years ago.
Yes he did!! So why is it a big deal now?? They are acting like this warrant for Carolyn Bryant is a huge smoke gun when really they were looking in the wrong courthouse! That warrant could have been found years ago!
HIS FATHER WAS WEAK 4 HELPING THEM BASTARDS
JW forced everyone into it. Roy was even bullied into it also
They really didn't have a choice
Not saying he was right but I think no one in this generation can judge him because it's easy for us now to say what we would have done when we don't have to worry about us and our family dying for telling a white person no.
That ran shack of a museum is an embarrassment and money grab. Money Miss shouldn't be making a dime off Emmett death. Nobody should except his mother she is passed on so ATP nobody except the African American museum should be doing this. Site posting is different.
In the documentary about Emmett Till , he's father denied having anything to do with the murder
and it was so obvious he was lying!
Right 😕
Of course. All parties involved are at fault. So much for “black unity and brotherly love”. Let this be a lesson people that look like you and share the same ancestry are not always your allies. You have to depend on yourself and your surroundings using your instincts. The world is a wasteland
@@thadevilzadvocate Those black men involved in Emmet's kidnappings and murder were FORCED! A couple of them worked for J.W.Milam. They really didn't have much of a choice. It was either them or Emmett. There lives were absolutely ruined after that. They became estranged from their families, they all became alcoholics and a couple of them suffered from mental illness. They tried to live anonymous lives, but a couple of them were found, including this man's father, Henry Lee Loggins. Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes interviewed him and he vehemently denied any involvement with Emmett at all. To me, it seemed like he was lying. You could tell he was angry and bitter!! I cannot imagine what his life was like. Seeing Emmett brutalized, hearing his screams and his crying for his mother, or crying out, "Lord have mercy!!" No doubt he could see and hear Emmett in his dreams
Of course he would deny it. On camera
Great job... my family knew Emmit Till and Mose Wright (sp?)... this interview was very good and I would like to hear more about this and learn more about Johnny B. Thomas.
You deserve "an Emmy" for this. Why are u interested in the under belly of Black history? You are a good man.

is it me or is the sound low....................

Where is the video of Willie Lee loggin's interview ?
YOU CAN'T BLANE HIM FOR HIS FATHER'S DOINGS. IT'S WRONG. HE CAN'T HELP HIS FATHER IS A MURDER BASTARD. SO. I THINK HE DOING THE RIGHT THING. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. I AM SORRY THAT U HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS ALL UR LIFE. PEOPLE CAN BE MEAN AND HORRIBLE. WE KNOW IT WASN'T YOU. AND YOU CAN'T HELP WHAT UR DADDY DONE. GOD BLESS YA'LL
6:29 Carolyn intentionally lied and posed as crazy on the stand because she didn’t want anything to do with it. Plus, Carolyn wasn’t under oath so they couldn’t charge her. And their lawyers told her she wouldn’t have anything to worry about.
She definitely made up all of that 💩 probably at the spur of the moment!! The fact that she is 88, sick and dying with cancer and still holding on to that lie, tells me she is not remorseful at all and she is a diehard racist!!
Still scared
Poor quality video could hear the man who talked low voice, all i could hear is the interviewer laughing
You can barely hear him speak.
He needed a microphone 🎤
And yes after looking at the movie and I read the book before the movie came out it was years ago and yes I do believe he did help kill him too cuz he did a whole lot of covering up too but he going to reap what he sold to how can you try to bury a body without the mother's consent for this child didn't even stay really!!!
This man's father, Henry Lee Loggins, did indeed help kidnap and murder Emmett Till. After the trial, the black community ostracized him. His wife left him, and he became an alcoholic. He tried to live an anonymous life but he was tracked down by some people making a documentary.
The Emmett Till case was reopened in 2004, and the supposed involvement of Henry Lee Loggins (the father of the man in the video) was examined. The court found no evidence that Loggins was involved. Also, if he had been involved, he would have been killed had he not followed whatever instructions the murderers had given him, and the man in this video (his son) may have been killed as well.
Exactly. Thank you. So easy for people to judge Henry Lee Loggins if he was involved in the kidnapping and murder of Emmett Till but what choice did he have? He would have been tortured and killed as well..He had a Family to support and who wouldn't be terrified of being tortured by two armed and powerful white men in the South in the 1950's? That doesn't make him a coward, that makes him a victim and I am sure the entire experience disturbs and haunts him. I feel he deserves forgiveness and mercy. He did not ask to be involved. He was forced
So what if he would have got killed.. that doesn't justify help killing a kid. Of his own kind at that. They should be castrated to not have the family name live on.
@@eunicewilson782 But that's just it. We have no evidence to suggest that he helped anyone kill a kid.
@@LisaMitchellGD There's always a choice. You either die fighting on your feet,or live like a coward on your knees.
Henry Lee Loggins was involved in Emmet's kidnapping and murder. He was seen by eyewitnesses on the back of the truck holding Emmett down along with about 3 other black guys. He was ostracized from the black community and he lived anonymous for years in Ohio as a junk man
BACK Then I Know Everyone Had To Do What THEY Were TOLD By WHITE PEOPLE!!! IT'S That Person Or U !!! WHAT WOULD U DO!!!!!!😘😢😘😍
Shiit, i got compassion and morals.....me and Till would have been put down but not without a fight together against those bastards. No man right, left behind alone.
