Emmett Till's mother was the epitome of courage and strength during the incredibly disturbing death of her child and the aftermath
Amen ❤️💐
💯👏👏👏
I agree 100%
She loved her baby and fought to the end.
I liked how she wanted to see on what those monsters did to her son such tragedy but she was brave and strong and still heart broken even after many years had passed im so disgusted on how people can just believe anything
the story of Emmet Till should be taught in all history classes
I agree!
Amen ❤️
They don't want to tell the real stories.
Stories like these are not stories you tell a child. A kids mind is like a sponge and to tell or teach a young child white or black is a disservice and would not produce any kind of positive. This is a moment in our history that a college or high school child learns about.
This story was taught to me in 8th grade at my school in NY but I agree with you 100%
My father told me that Mamie was his 4th grade teacher. They used to ask her if she would have more kids after Emmett and she told them all once, "No. I'll never bring another child into this world." That story always made me feel terrible when my daddy told it to me.
Wow I'm in tears.. Was just watching her story on tv a week ago...
Good morning Lynn. You said; "I'll never bring another child into this world."
Now, Lynn. No disrespect for Mamie Till. But she did not have a child for 14 years after Emmett was born. What would have been her reason for those 14 years.
_________________________
The truth be known, Mamie married her 4th husband at age 36. Which would have meant that she cold have had a child at 37.
In those time 30 was the age at which you did not have more children. It was considered DANGEROUS to have a child at 35
Poor mother and R.I.P. Emmett Till, but not bringing another child in this world solely because the previous one died is pretty unwise (to not say stupid), it was not her fault that her son died after all…
@@mark9531 That was what she told my dad when she was his teacher. Those aren't my words but his... also you're. But I had my last child 36 and he was fine.
@@LadeeLibra646 "I had my last child 36 and he was fine."
Absolutely. And millions or women did. Maybe it was an irrational fear. I am just saying that might have been a factor.
And Mamie might have been so incredibly devastated by the loss of Emmett, she just did not want to climb back on that horse again.
Plus Mamie had moved on. The tragedy propelled Mamie into her education, getting a BS, and Ms, teaching, she had a fully productive life.
He was my mother’s friend as children. She still cannot talk about him til this day. Rest in Power Emmett. We Love You & You’ll never be forgotten 💔
My condolences to your mother, and to his family. Such a tragic story, may he Rest In Peace 🙏🏼.
Sending love to your mother.
💔
🙏♥️
I am so sorry 😔 RIP Emmet till
He had a disability… his friends made fun of him … but he turned it around and laughed as well … it shows you that this kid had a lot of character… imagine where he would’ve been if he were alive today… the possibilities are endless… R.I.P. Emmet so young and so full of life … and because of a lie… your life was cut short…. And for that I’m really sorry you went through this torture 😢 🙏
I still cant believe this woman is still free and has never faced charges for starting this whole tragic situation....
No she passed away years ago
@@thatvibe6939 She’s not deceased. She’s still very much alive. We live in the same city.
@@GoldenOne90 they said she was on her death bed when she confessed.
@David the body builder she can be charged with lying on the witness stand and conspiracy to commit murder either way she lied and her lie resulted in this boys death..thanks for the info....
She will definitely get hers
Emmett did not deserve this. We need to keep his story alive so he is never erased from history. I'm so sorry this happened to you Emmett. May you rest in paradise.
Amen ❤️
If though this racist incident was 9 years before I was born,it just makes my heart bleed and my eyes water.
That is why I worry so much about the monuments being taken down. Put them in a museum if need be but don't destroy them. We must not forget our history, or we are doomed to repeat it.
@Lois H in sense you cant die you go to next level of life. We all volenteered to incarsinate here was warned its tug of war. And EMMIT was brought at worst time of things were social paths got away with murder and enjoyed killen. But on life review they cant escape and look of them they had no remorse. they put god in pain and god is all things. And they will go threw horror they caused till they realize who they sre not to murder. Murder is test and illusion here. We volenteer to find what love is when traggedy hits. The only way he could avoided life path is knowen the truth that was kept from him. Ask arc angels to watch over you and spiritual guardians to protect you. Is the only way to avoid tug of war thst can put us on lower vibration of those who do evil. Those white people were in lower vibration were demon helps them comes out in negative rezult they got awaycause of light wasnt on the upper hand. But there life review be hell just looken at them there bad bunch and its there vibration
RIP Emmit🌹🙏
Emmett must never be forgotten 🙏🏻
Amen. 🙏🙏
Amen
Too may nutters in the USA the main thing is guns ban the guns then the death rate will go down death penalty is cruel
Amen
NEVER!!!!!!!!!💔
I can't imagine what his momma went through. Rest with Jesus.
This story gives me the grossest chills. Thank you for sharing this story. As horrible as it was, it must not be forgotten. Great work, Lamont ✌️
Is this the first time you heard this story, I’m just curious
@@seandingle58 the killer should keep them in prison and the women to because she is a lier
He was just a boy. Such a horrible disgrace.
Jackie those are despicable bullies and murderers, crooked lawyers and judge, and a sham of a so-called justice system. I loath all involved in the young child's tragic death that was cut short violently.
Rome Salas I agree
It's Sad How Carolyn Bryant Had Lived Her Full Life From When This Happened In 1945 And To Today 2020!! And She Haven't Been Charged For Her Wrongdoing.
Donald Davis Jr. agreed
Donald Davis Jr. She might escape mans justice, however her judgment is waiting for her when she stands in front of god. I hate to be in her shoes then.
As a mother his senseless violent death makes makes my heart break. He was only a baby.
There are some very evil people . Watch all children. Always, God's love will bring mom & son forever together again
The eyes 👀 of the Lord are in every place beholding the "Evil" and the "Good"! Emmit's killers got away from mankind laws / justice But not from God's justice they will be judge.
Sorry i made a mistake on the video.
At 0:59 i meant to say summer of 1955 not 1945.and her name is pronounced may-mee not mammy
Thanks for the video this story needs to be told.
Lamont At Large, it’s ok about the year that poor kid was killed in. Nobody is perfect.
Thank you so much for posting this..it's much appreciated!..can you do a video on "Richard Kuklinski"?.. please?..thank you!..I enjoy your videos..they are educational and you narrate them so well.. please be careful out there..and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family and your channel and keep you guys protected by the Lord's Holy Angels..thanks again!🌝
This kid deserves to have his story told. Thank you for telling it . Rest in peace Emmett.
Thank you for telling this story I knew if it before but it is good to remind people especially in these times ,what happened to Mr Till was a tragedy and I believe that the two men who were put on trial are dead and the woman who lied about what Mr Till did is still alive and she said she was sorry she told those lies she was interviewed a year or two ago .
Man seeing his grave covered in flowers just touched my heart 🥺🥺. It’s great to see that his presence is still strong in many people’s heart
I cry every time I hear about this precious baby . He died a horrible horrible death When his mother talked about how proud she was of his teeth and when she saw him his beautiful teeth were gone .😢😢
His name should be known and remembered like Anne Frank's. His story must be told and not forgotten!!!!
RIP Emmett Till!
Great point to be made 💖
Is Anne Frank even real?
Emmitt till name should forever be remembered that poor young man. Due to hateful rascim and unjustice.
@@melisentiapheiffer3034yes..WTH!!!
thats a stupid question to ask@@melisentiapheiffer3034
You aren't to far from where I live. His grave is 5 minutes from me. Its a horrible thing that happened to him. He did nothing wrong and that woman lied and admitted to to it. He didn't whistle at her, it was because of his speech impediment from my understanding. No one deserved to be killed the way he did. He lost his life because of racism. I'm proud of his mother and family for sharing his coffin picture. It showed everyone the cruelty these men did to him. He never got to live his life. RIP Emmitt Till.
She admitted it much too late long after Till's mother had died.
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 truthfully, I think she waited that long for that reason.
Amen ❤️💐
I read somewhere that the lady that he whistled at is still alive.
@@isundari06ify ,Yes,I heard that too!
I have noticed Ms. Till kept Emmett dressed so stylishly.When this young Black boy came to that shabby country store those bums seethed with envy and hatred. My Dad who grew up in the next town said people quit going to the store and it closed
They should have burned it down !!!
@@andrea050405 exactly
🎯🎯🎯
Served the store owners right
Not only the trash, but black folks were jealous too. One of Milams black employees was the one who told. JW then told his brother who asked his wife. If that man had just kept his mouth shut none of this happens.
I've watched the documentary of Emmett Till when I was 10 years old and I have never forgotten it. It shook me as a kid to know someone could do this. I couldn't imagine what was going through his mind during all this, the fear he must have felt. I remember sitting in class just crying.
Rip Emmett Till. I hope you are at peace... and you had one incredibly strong mother, sweetheart. She fought so hard for you. She made the world face what was done to you.
He was a handsome young boy and may his story never be forgotten. I just watched a miniseries a few months ago about Emmett Till and I have to say, it was so sad but very interesting especially seeing and hearing Emmett's relatives speaking about what kind of kid he was and how his mom had so much strength and courage during such a heartbreaking time in her life
Emmett was a child. Just a baby compared to the ages of the monsters that murdered him. Boys will be boys. It is pathetic that two grown ass men would torture and mutilate a boy because of a "cat call" whistle.
Shame on those who were chosen to jury that trial. In a time of diversity, the color of one's skin should not be the deciding factor between gulity or innocent. It is about COMPASSION AND LOVE FOR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.... A CHILD, that should have hung the trash that stood to be judged that day. Yet, HATE and the color of one's skin is what set them free.... its a shame!
Rest Easy Emmett... ⚘
Dance with the angels, little buddy! 💙
Amen!!❤️
But that is just it Mandy, it was 1955 and not a time of diversity. That little boy suffered because of the ignorance of that time. It just incredible to think that people have that kind of hate and depravity in their heart. There must be a special place in hell for child murderers and predators.
@@suzannesmith4191 ,let's hope so!
But didnt she confess that he never whistled at her
@@lawrencemoore3863 ,YES! You can Google her.
This story is literally haunting. It makes me so sick and angry. Some people in this world are absolutely demonic. It’s disgraceful. RIP Emmett, your story and your life will never be forgotten.
2025 are you stupid
I agree.
R.I.P. Emmett Till. You did not die in vain. Your brutal murder will never be forgotten.😭💔🙏🏻
Hard to say that he didn't die in vain when nobody was convicted of his murder but like you say ..... He will never be forgotten
Emmett Till's murder was a watershed moment in the civil rights movement. That last senseless violent death POC were willing to tolerate. Rosa Parks said she thought of Emmett Till the second before she made her stance against racist laws. Miss Maime's boy did not die in vain.
Below is an excerpt from Parks' interview with Eyes on the Prize a documentary television series about Civil Rights Movement.
Parks later said about being asked to move to the rear of the bus, "I thought of Emmett Till - a 14-year-old African American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after being accused of offending a white woman in her family's grocery store, whose killers were tried and acquitted - and I just couldn't go back." Blake said, "Why don't you stand up?" Parks responded, "I don't think I should have to stand up." Blake called the police to arrest Parks. When recalling the incident for Eyes on the Prize, a 1987 public television series on the Civil Rights Movement, Parks said, "When he saw me still sitting, he asked if I was going to stand up, and I said, 'No, I'm not.' And he said, 'Well, if you don't stand up, I'm going to have to call the police and have you arrested.' I said, 'You may do that.''
I can't believe the guys who did this bragged about it and was never charged for the murder of a child! It's so wrong.
They couldn't be charged and tried again after bragging about killing Emmett due to double jeopardy.
@@epfan4life1 That's true. Still sad.
Thank you for telling this tragic story of an innocent 14 year old young man. Thank you for showing us where they are laid to rest.
May they all rest in Peace. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The torture and murder of this young man is horrific. It absolutely sickens and makes me nauseous to think about what he went through. Truly awful. RIP.
The fact that we're still dealing with racism all these years later shows as a county we still have a lot of work to do
County and country
Sad to say racism will never end and you will keep seeing these things happening to black and other minorities
Amen ❤️💐
@@lambjack1 I missed one letter 🙄 are you the grammar or spelling police ??? Like you wrote every word correctly your whole life Focus on the matter at hand and not one word thxs ❤
@@sherrywinston9394
No actually I was agreeing with you.
I thought you were talking about a particular county. I just expanded your idea to a national level.
Sorry you took it wrong and got so upset.
It's strange and sad to think that if those men hadn't murdered him, Emmett Till might still be alive today. He'd be 79 if he was still living. He probably would have had kids, grandkids and even great grandkids by now. His killers not only robbed him of his life and his future, but they also robbed his potential descendants of any lives and futures that they would have had.
Those men got their comeuppance down the row.
He would have been 79 this year . So sad
Crazy s.m.h
@Dee crazy back then? It’s still bad but even worse. They arrested Rosa Parker for not giving up her Seat on the bus. Trump Built a wall when he was president because he Hates Mexicans. How they tell people off for speaking Spanish Then a police officer murdered George Floyd they call police on black kids for selling water. Many many more America is still racist and always will Be. I’m Glad I’m not American. But this guy is a good person he’s not racist
Rest in Paradise Emmett Till. You didn't deserve any of the awful torture you endured. Fly free sweet boy ♥️
This is history and it MUST be remembered. The racist murder of a child should never be swept under any carpet of lies.
Thank you Lamont for another superb video.
RIP Emmett.
This poor baby. How could anyone do this? My heart hurts
I feel the same way u do
😢😢😢😢💞💞💞
Mine too. Like, bad. How can we ever heal as a species? We have so many racially-motivated stories of hate crimes pouring in almost daily. Stop the world, I want to get off.
And she admitted she lied!? What a creepy Bitch
Way to much hate and evil a bunch of cowards that was a child 😢😢😢😢😢😢 I Remember seeing this in a jet magazine years ago I couldn’t believe it then to find out his age and what he was murdered for I cried 😢😢😢. I was 13 and never got the image out my head I look at him smiling in the previous pictures before the casket picture such a beautiful young man 😢😢😢
Emmett Till will never be forgotten!!!
His death sparked the Civil Right movement.
I'm glad you said that. It means he didn't die in vain. I really wish the monsters that killed him were convicted though. It's just heartbreaking, his poor mother.
@@vivianavian6287 God had a plan for his life. Emmett Till completed his purpose.
God rest his soul. This is horrible and we should never forget this poor boy who suffered because people lied. I can't imagine what he went through. I'm sorry you went through this.
Because "people lied"? They murdered and blood is on their hands. ALL OF THEM.
@@P.L.M. this story is just disgusting. I think everyone can agree. But I think what they meant by "people lie" is the fact that the female in this situation lied about him even whistling at her. She got an innocent child killed for literally nothing.
They were just human monsters doing that to that poor innocent little guy
❤️
this is why I say blacks are owed reparations, the evil & hatred towards towards their skin is disgraceful. Before anybody says "native americans", they owned black slaves too.
When I read the story of the funeral, mom insisted the casket be open was sad enough; but knowing that the sight of him made people faint I burst into tears. I’m not a crier, but I am an empath…I cannot even imagine his family’s pain. This is one of hundreds of stories in this country over the centuries, that we will never know. I’m horrified at what has happened on our soil. It should not be forgotten because nothing like this should EVER happen again.
Rest in Power Emmett
I'm 56 and saw this story in a Jet magazine in the library at 17 and have been keeping up with any story pertaining to it ! God Bless us all 💖🥀
And to think this is just the one we know about. Thousands and thousands have a similar story.
Amen ❤️
And that was why his mother wanted him buried in Chicago because this kind of atrocious activities was known in Mississippi
May all of the victims Rest 🕊️In🕊️Peace🕊️.
I don’t know how someone could live with themselves knowing they had a 14 year old boy put to death.
*Do you Think that HitLer, FeLt BAD for his Victims!!!!????*
Actually, one of them became an alcoholic and suffered depression.
@@Justin.Martyr better believe he paid the price for his actions
They were ostracized after that.
If I remember correctly, they were bragging about their actions. It was horrible.
I like the fact that his mom showed the world what what they did to her son... To imagine that we are all the same in God's eyes...
This world is a sad place
Yes it is.. Amen ❤️
And to know God saw it all....it hurt him...
Thank You so much for telling this story! Out history is not taught in school. I showed this video to my 14 year old son. It’s too harsh for my 7 year old just now. When he is older I’ll tell him. God bless! RIP Emmett Till! We will keep telling this story. His poor mother. This is tragic, and the woman confessed on her death bed i believe.
Another well done tribute, Lamont. May that young boy rest in peace. So sad.
Godam savages, killing a 14 year old boy. RIP.
Savages is a racist word mister
@@kimbellabella348 huh?
The world was cruel back then
@@Nicholas102103 It still continues to this very day to be Cruel
@Shawn Martin 😡 😡 😡 😡
I remember seeing a documentary about this. They were going to have a closed casket service, but his mother said no. She wanted everyone to see what they did to Emmett. So very very sad
Yeah :(
Exactly…show the trash what they did…but then again you have to have a conscience…sooo that wouldn’t have fazed them…,
What a strong mother I would have broke down rest in peace to the both of them
The sheriff tried to bury Emmett in Mississippi, but Mamie was able to mobilize all sorts of political powers in Chicago to thwart the plan. Emmett's body was shipped back with a sealed coffin and instructions that it NOT be breached. Mamie had it opened regardless and proceeded to leave it open for the wake, attended by THOUSANDS. Her decision changed history.
@@pricklypear7516 a mothers right
I'm sorry, but there is no way in hell I would have allowed Emmett to visit Mississippi had he been my son, knowing his personality AND knowing the degree of racism that existed there. I'm sure Emmett's mother warned him to watch his behavior, but do all 14 year olds listen to everything their parents say? No.
To this day, it breaks my heart when I think of how terrified Emmett must have been in his last hours. Hatred is one of the most destructive things on earth. And it will cause OUR destruction if we don't wake up.
Please, read "The Death of Innocence" written by, Mamie Till Mosley. She was apprehensive, but she allowed him to go anyway.
@@lyndiablack9098 Thank you. I will do that. I never knew Emmett's mother was apprehensive about his visit. Another factor in a truly heartbreaking event.
Late to the party...I agree and disagree...it was said by his murders in an interview they killed Him because He wasn't afraid and how dare He not be afraid of them.... big badd wh*te grown boys......
@@teeceefitzgerald8922 makes me want to vomit 🤮…sick narrow-minded bastards….
Not only that but how did his uncle allow these grown men to take his nephew!! I would have laid down my on life to spare my nephew!!!
I can't imagine what this poor child went through...my heart breaks for him and his family
This one broke my heart the most. In tears so, so sad thank you for telling us his story. This was such a tragic case. I’m so happy you do this traveling and story telling for us all. I hope every last person got their karma. Thank you again Lamont all the way from Atlanta, Ga.
If my wife came back and told me a 14 year old boy called her fine and sexy I would laugh 😂 and say he’s not lyin. He was just a lil boi Man 🤦♂️
Yea true. I honestly would laugh it off too😂😂. Kids can be outspoken at times and its funny at times. A British woman came to my country and I thought she looked attractive and I approached and said "Hey, where you from? She answered. I said " You look really beautiful so I wanted to say hello and welcome to our country." She smiled and said "awww thanks so much" and we went our separate ways.
But seriously what they did to him was brutal and awful. That woman should rot in hell for causing his death and lying and those 2 men should rot in hell for having to will and evil heart to torture and kill an innocent 14 year old boy. We live in a seriously fucked up world and that's why he's dead😒.
Never forgotten💔
That's the correct response but at that time any lie or alleged inappropriate interaction with any person of white race cost my people their lives. Just a sad ignorant time and we have made some progress in this country since.
Worse part is he didn’t even say all that. He just whistled 🤦🏻♀️ They really did the most to a child smh
Triune but this lets us kno how blacks intimidated tha white 😈😈
If you were a white man in the Mississippi Delta in the 1950s and still had the same attitude, you would be a bona fide miracle.
The cemetery he is buried in was involved in a scandal several years ago. His original casket was found discarded in a shed I believe . Graves were dug up and resold. Disgusting.
They changed his casket because they did a DNA test on his body because they claimed the body wasnt his so they had him exhumed to test his body. Of course it was him but when he was removed from the original casket they put the old one was thrown in a shed. They eventually got the casket and restored it they want to put it in a museum about civil rights.
@@mrswhite8040 I went last two years ago to NMAAH in DC they had an exhibit with his original casket.

I'm here by way of Mobile Instinct. I think I'll hang around a while. Looks like I have two new channels to subscribe to....but honestly, thank you for shedding more light on this subject.
The Emmett Till story makes me more emotional than any movie scene I've ever watched. His mother was a smart, brave woman. She KNEW that Mississippi authorities were going to try to sweep this under the rug. Controversial as it was, publishing his photos gave the whole "sunshine and rainbows" crowd a REAL glimpse into the potential horror of what some garbage people will try to get away with. Instead of Chicago having an unsolved missing person case, and Mississippi having an unidentified John Doe she turned on the proverbial flashlight and told the world "Look at what they did! Don't just hear the rumors, and the tales spun by the guilty party's associates...but LOOK at what they did!"
I'm rambling a bit...sorry. It's a bad habit of mine...but I think the double jeopardy amendment should have an addendum...because people who fool the juries and judges of the world and get out of criminal charges can LITERALLY say out loud "yea, I did it" and because there's already been a trial, nothing can be done. I understand the usefulness of the amendment, but much like any common Batman storyline, someday someone important will realize there's circumstances in which protective laws become shackles. The concept conceived to aid an innocent person has been used the wrong way, and now the law is working against itself.
Futility. The art of defeating the purpose.
He's in heaven, and they're in Hell! Emmett T.. I'll see and hug you in heaven one day.👊😎
@Steven Goodnight ..so where is every soul at?
He will be back very soon., Revelation 21:3,4❤️❤️Rip Young man😔🙏🏽
And they want us to get over this? “Get over the past” they say? How can we? This stuff is scarring.
Yes Amira! Never "get over" Emmett Till's murder. Ever.
We should never forget
This is something that should never be forgotten. It needs to stop. It doesn't matter what your skin color is. We are all human beings. We all bleed red. RIP Emmitt. You are in God's loving arms.
Lol ikr
I don’t think people want you to get over it, it needs to be remembered.
I will NEVER forget this horrific event! And the TRAMP, the reason for all this is alive today and lives well! RIP And God Bless HIS SOUL!
I didn't know she is still alive, she must not have a conscience
Is she really? Hope she sees his face when she closes her eyes
She also admitted that she lied about what happened. She’s an accessory to murder, but she walks free without a care in the world, or a conscience. She’ll get her reward soon enough.
tstutts74 She must not be a mother. That right there would be a good punishment for her but yes she will definitely be getting her reward soon enough. An eternal one.
danielle Leigh She actually has 2 sons, which makes it even worse. No telling what kind of indoctrination or ideals she raised them with - but I think we all have a pretty good idea.
thank you for speaking a bit about his personality and traits, his story is important but it’s sad that he’s only remembered for a tragedy so it was nice to hear some things about him when he was alive.
You are hardly divisive. You care about victims no matter their ethnic heritage. Your Burger Chef episode came across my feed but it was the one about Capt. David Dorn that made me subscribe. Rest well in God’s presence, Emmett Till.

I saw it in Jet magazine years ago. Heartbreaking.
So did I yeRssss agoooo

Emmitt had an open casket. She said she wanted the world to see what they did to her baby!
They showed us the picture in 5th grade and it haunts me to this day.
Watching the story of Emmett Till I literally vomited when I saw what " they" did to him! His Mother ordered that the casket be opened so everyone could see him. This shook my soul!
Yes it's very very very disturbing you definitely have to have a strong stomach to see someone like that smh :( just wasn't right
I've read you could smell his body blocks away from funeral home.
I am glad you made a video for him! I have met people who have no idea who he is anymore and that breaks my heart
Good evening Zoe. You said; "I have met people who have no idea who he is anymore"
Then they weren't paying attention in History, civics, sociology, and government classes in high school. This entire tragedy, with pictures, has been taught in every high school in the US for decades.
I learned about it in 1972-73 in High School in South Carolina.
Thank you for helping keeping his story out there. RIP Emmitt Till
While the story of Emmett Till is truly tragic one other young man comes to mind. George Stinney who was falsely accused of murder, imprisoned, and found guilty. He was still a child when he was executed in the electric chair in South Carolina in 1948, I believe only 12 or 14 years old. He was not allowed to speak to his parents and the lawyer assigned to defend him did nothing. Maybe you should visit the grave of this poor child so no one forgets what hate does.
I've seen several stories about this child. What was done to his poor little body was horrible. He was beaten and tortured beyond recognition. Nobody, deserves to be treated like that.
They were freed by man's law, not by God's law.
R.I.P little one. 🙏
Emmett did not deserve to die at the age of fourteen years the woman lied and she got to live her life free I feel for his family they still have to live this horror every day
Amen ❤️
I know a few year's ago, this woman was still alive!
Free on this earth but the after life not so sure.
The first time that I watched the story of Emmett Till on PBS in the late 1980s, it took me weeks to get pass that graphic photo of him when he was found. That was devastating! A total nightmare! That photo still bothers me to this day!
George stinney was just 14 as well when he was executed may these two men Rest In Peace 😔
Rest in Paradise God bless your souls George stony and Emmett Till peace 😇🙌🏿🙏🏿💙
His Mother was so brave to have a open casket viewing, this shocked people into doing something about the hatred. I'm so sorry she had to go through this seeing how much her beloved Son suffered. Her heart must have broken everytime she looked at him at the viewing. "Vengeance is mine sayth the Lord " We know how the killers were judged. Blessings to the Family.
He was such a beautiful child. My heart hurts for his mothers pain she felt all those years. She’s now in heaven with her baby now
I am the cousin of Emmett Till. Thank you for keeping my cousin's memory alive!
I am truly sorry for your loss I never for once believed he done anything to that evil witch
@@jennyhunter7216 Jenny Hunter, Thank you for your condolences. Carolyn Bryant admitted that she lied. Her actions has brought great pain and heart ache to my family. Thank you so much for your support. My family and I truly appreciate you! ❤️
I’m sorry for family lost as well . I can’t believe that woman is still living today . I’m from the Mississippi delta
@@kenchambers7137 Ken Chambers, Thank you for your condolences. Yes, Carolyn Bryant is living her life as if nothing has ever happened while my cousin's life was taken away. My family is originally from Web Mississippi before moving to Chicago. My family and I appreciate you and your support! ❤️
@@deneendammons2797 Deneen, I was a small child, living on the westside of Chicago, when Emmett, died. They were talking about this the WORLD OVER and in Chicago, EVERYBODY was mad, angry, shocked, and deeply disturbed about what happened to Emmett. Some people were OUTRAGED. I have watched this case all of my life. I was on that small march that was did at the cemetery on the 50th university of his death. Some of his family members were there and a man that had recently written a book about the case. I met one of your cousins, that was there when they came and got Emmett. I think he lived in Countryside, Illinois. We talked briefly. He stated that he was at the store, the day Emmett, whistled at the white woman. I read, "The Death of Innocence" also. When Mamie died, I was at her services, at the church on Cottage Grove. As you can see, I have followed this case since I was a child. My aunt, was a member of Roberts Temple for over 60 years. She was also, one of the women in white, that was at the funeral that day. I use to hear her talk about how many people that was there, and how some of them fell out, after seeing that young boy's militated body. She use to say, "I don't know what kind of people, could have done that to a child." I am glad to see that they are turning Emmett's home into a museum. That is long overdue. When I found the address Emmett, was living at when he died, I use to drive by and look at the building. I always got an eerie feeling, thinking about him. When I am in that neighborhood, and drive down 63rd and St. Lawrence, I ALWAYS think about Emmett. Its like, I knew a kid that once lived this neighborhood, that got killed down South. When I drive by Mamie's home in Chatham, I think about what she went through. (I found out about where they lived, from reading the book.) When I drive through Argo, I think about them. What more can I say, except, you, and your family, have my heartfelt sympathy.
PS
It seem as though, people have tried to bury this case. When people talk about the "I Have a Dream" speech, they never say, "Eight years ago, to the very day, is they day they killed, Emmett Till." That has ALWAYS annoyed me. However, I don't believe Chicagoans, will ever forget.
Just cant imagine how scared he was
We need people like you. You get out and spend your time sharing these victims stories to people who haven't heard or even known about some of these interesting stories. Also, In my opinion, You show respect and I enjoy the way you tell these stories. Keep the Vlogs coming! 👊🔥🙏
- Live but not Live but, Alive by the Grace of God.
His mother insisted on an open casket because she wanted the world to see what those monsters had done to her baby. RIP Emmett, you died far too young.
I've read that you could smell his body blocks away from funeral home
Rest in Heaven Together Emmett and Ms Mamie Till 🥀🕊🙏🏾
They say Make America Great Again.... It’s never been great....
If i lived in America i would leave. Youl find the problems you face there are mostly American Problems we dont play that shit here
You are free to leave anytime you wish.
Debbie Montague oh shut the fuck up. And where do you live? Canada? Hahaha. How about the treatment of natives during the fur trades? Don’t act like your country is free of all misdoings.
@@soundwave6083 😂😂😂 i am Scottish actually. But my great grand parents and so forth all came from southern ireland, my family actually has a long history of being slaves. That just shows the American mind set you have, you should really do some indepth learning about real history. Remember it is history without it we would be no future. And slavery is still alive today but lets just look over that while we focus on history we can never forget but humanity is on the verge of collapse at the moment with whats going on. And i lost out on a job because i was white, i was told i wasnt diverse enough. Take a trip outside of your American bubble it will open your eyes. I have travelled the world alone met my husband in Ghana and spend alot of time there. Grow up little man
This is why we stay and work toward the dream of what America should be.
Another great video Sir. You have a gift in speaking and you don’t run rabbits...you stick to the facts which add tremendous value to your videos. RIP Emmett
Emmett was a very handsome child and I can see he had joy in him looking into his eyes in the picture. My heart hurts for him, but for his mother. I have so much respect for standing strong and not allowing the sheriff for the burial of Emmett in Mississippi. By being a strong woman she allowed the world to know what had happened to her son. When it's gone past the point of having her son alive it's time to fight for your child. Fight for the world to see and move people to put a stop to these horrible murders. She help light the fire for civil rights. And I hope she had some peace in the end. There so much more to this story that's came out. And I hope the full turth will come out and by investigation find all who was involved for guilty. Dead or alive those people names should go down in history as the murders as associated with the murder of a young man, who was turly still a child. Not guilty verdicts should be over turned because there was never a full investigation or fair trail for justice of Emmett murder most foul.
Seeing Emmett's grave really hurts. A young boy just starting out in life murdered. Everyone lied and got away with it. So wrong and it's painful.
My heart is crying for Emmitt . God bless this poor child 🌷💕
I read his story I have never cried so much. This young boy should never be forgotten. And thanks to you he won't. R.I.P sweet boy. Safe with god 😢😢
No, these stories must never, ever, be forgotten. I remember when I first heard about this story. It made me so mad and heartbreakingly sad and filled with admiration for his family, particularly his mother...the guts and true integrity it must have took his mother to expose this atrocity and the cover up. Fierce love. And have to endure that trial that was no trial at all but a despicable miscarriage of justice. Wow. His handsome dapper face...gets me every time.
What happened to Emmett is unforgivable! RIP Emmett! ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️
Thank you for telling Emmett’s story. It’s a heartbreaking story.. But a story that should be told. Again and again, we can never forget him x
I absolutely love this channel and your narration of those stories. Keep it up!!!
Likewise!
Amen ❤️💐
This was such a horrible & tragic story it angered me when I watched the story bout his murder. May he RIP I couldn't imagine how his mom was able to make thru that dark time in her life
Amen ❤️
I have been crying ever since I came to know about Emmett tills story 💔💔💔💔
RIP young man you will never be forgotten
R.I.PARADISE EMMETT FLY HIGH WITH THE ANGELS NO MORE PAIN NO MORE SUFFERING AND MOST OF ALL NO RACISM WHERE YOU ARE YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN WE WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU
What they did to that child makes my heart hurt, so despicable!!
I’m surprised they didn’t move Emmitt’s body next to his mother and put in a nice tomb like hers
Her tomb is next to her husband. She decided where she wanted him buried in 1955.
Thought the same thing
That’s some straight up BS that she’s a mile away buried next to her 3 husband and NOT TO UR SON r u serious???? Unbelievable all crying and this wht ur choice was next to ur 3 husband 🖕🏽
@@lyndiablack9098 b s if u ask me no one accept the fact this was wht she decided after all that crying and hollering smh unbelievable
This story continues to burn me up and break my heart at the same time. I have a son born on Aug 28. Much later year of course. Rest In Peace Sweet Emmett, poor child. You didn't deserve this! God bless you and your family. So heartbreaking. I could not imagine💔 🙏
Amen ❤️
I too have a child and God have mercy on anyone who would dare touch him
@@MrGlenn7710 my
Him and my Mama was the same age I'm 60 years old I heard what Happened to him at a very young age and when I got older I search other truths I have cried a million tears for Emmitt Till. He did not die in vain God uncovered the evilness of the state of Mississippi and its deep deep racism that it has always had.
I watched the Mobile Instinct and your video on the Graves of the killers and the attempt to talk to the woman who started it all with her lies. Now you've wrapped it up by visiting Emmitt's grave. Good work, thank you.
David
Mammy Till she was a brave woman and she wanted people to see what those two monsters did to her son and she's reunited with her son now
Mammy or Mommy Till?
@@deelee5244 yeah
So you couldn't help letting folks know that she died just to get comment likes and responsed, right?
"Mamie" Till. Not "Mammy". May-me
Ik right it's was Horrible what happened 2 him
If he was still alive he would of been 79 yrs. Old wow so sad🙏
As always Lamont you help keep Emmits Memory and Other Alive through your blogs.Keep it up.Peace Out.🙏🏽
Amen ❤️
Hi Lamont, What a horrible story. So young. No justice. RIP Emmett.Thanks for telling the story, Lamont. ☮
Thank You For Sharing This Very Sad Story Of Our History ... May Emmett Till Rest Peacefuly! God Will Serve Justice 🙏🙏
Ty for this..its such a sensitive matter..I have followed this for sometime..its one of the saddest moments in time!!
RIP to him & his Momma
Mr. TILL will always be my hero on this earth!! He was treated like a pile of trash, all because of his skin color!! When I get to heaven one day, I hope to see Mr. TILL smiling, so I can give him a hug and let him know I AM SORRY he was let down by fellow man!!!
A sad and heartless story to a young man who did not deserve to die the way he did!!! His mother Mamie Till was his best advocate. Years later the woman he whistled at said it didnt happen when it did. Sad. RIP Emmitt Louis Till!!!💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏😞😞😞
Great content! Thanks for sharing this awful tragedy from 1955...not long ago.
