- 14-year-of Emmet Till, a Black child visiting from Chicago entered Bryant's Grocery in Money, Mississippi, in the summer of 1955 to buy candy. He was accused of assaulting the White woman who sold him the candy. She said he grabbed her and pulled her next to himself. Years later she admitted that never happened. Days after the alleged assault, he was kidnapped, tortured, shot, and his body thrown in the Tallahatchie River. Two men were arrested, tried, and acquitted by an all-White jury. The men later sold their story to "Look" magazine and admitted that they killed Emmet Till. There were some heroes in this story. The brutal death of Emmet Till inspired Rosa Parks not to give up her seat on a bus later that year.
He wasn’t a man…Emmett was a child…He had turned 14 the month before his brutal lynching. . He was tortured, mutilated, castrated and murdered.
Exactly!!! Grown men brutally tortured a 14 year old child. According to Emmett's mother they knocked out all of his teeth. That was a bad time for him to visit Mississippi during that time people were trying to register to vote. The Kk shot my grandfather because he was trying to get people to register to vote. The KK shot my grandfather in the stomach but he lived.

@@michaelgaynor6866 Thank you Michael Gaynor for your kind words
@@jeribuckner3481 Emmett was killed execution style🧐🥺🤔
He wasn’t a man he was a 14 year old boy.
i think he’s being overly cautious not to call a black male “boy” 🤣
@@b1bo840 Don't Need to be Emmett really was a young Boy
Did you hear about what happen to that other 14 year old Black Boy who was the youngest person to get the electric chair, because he was accused of raping and killing two white little Girls. 70 yrs later it was proven he was innocent.czcams.com/video/BNarYKEaHgY/video.html
@@b1bo840 probably
From 13 to 19 is a teenager ! A CHILD !!!
Correct.....A child in the same way, white news media outlets call caucasian youth of the same age......a child. Even mass murdering Dillion Ruff, was called a troubled...."youth" but I'm sure you get the picture, right??? Lol.
He called him a "young man" at the beginning. He called him a "boy" at the very end. And in his description, he calls him a 14 year old child.
I think he accurately described Emmett Till's age.
To me, Carolyn Bryant told the world she lied about Emmett, in the same way that her husband and brother-in-law told the world they actually did it, after they were acquitted.
"Carolyn Bryant told the world she lied about Emmett" Now that is a lie.
you wish I were lying about this, my white friend, but there’s an entire historical record of LIES coming from the waste of space called AMERICA.
Rest in peace Emmett Till
Amen 🙏🏿
I don’t think he was a young man I think he was a little boy
........ doing little boy goofy things .
This man came from a generation, like myself, who were taught that it was disrespectful to call a Black person "boy"
He called Emmett Till a 14 year old child in his description.
At the end of the video, he calls Emmett Till a boy.
I wouldn't call him a "little boy," but he was a kid, definitely not an adult
Hell on earth for poor young Emmett 😢😭😥
The men who killed him jury at his trial and the judge will answer to god
Black Man???? he was a child not a man
You are correct.
Thank you for sharing.
God's justice never sleeps, and those devil's will burn in Hell.
Indeed ; Amen ; thank you !
Wow, how interesting...that he will say a young black man, rather than a 14 year old boy.
many many people say *young man* in reference to that age of years for boys. But we know they're still boys.
He didn't mean any harm
What you are saying is incorrect, first of all he had a speech inpeedment, that young man never touched that woman, stop incriminating this child, No one deserves to be treated this way.
RIGHT
@@jermaine1286 yes . He just bought the bumble Gum and left the store. He didn't even say anything to that dam woman.
@@Surrfathi NOPE
@@Surrfathi Emmett's cousins said that he waved and said "goodbye," then when she came outside, he whistled. Even so, he didn't do ANYTHING to deserve what happened to him!!
Poor Emmett Till. I don't understand how the jury didn't find his murderers guilty. It was sheer wickedness.
Rip Emmett they will get their karma for taking your life
An the Liar still lives!
Been thinking thinking the same shit they need lock that old hag up2💯
She passed away. And confessed that it was a lie
@roe c: not true, that thing is still alive!
She died last week
R.I.P. EMMETT TILL 🥀💔💝
It pisses me off my mom was born in 1955😢😢😢
My mom was 5 in 1955 and she and my grandparents lived in Clarksdale, Mississippi which is about a 40 minute drive away from Money, Mississippi where Emmett was! She said that even though she was little, she vividly remembers the events because it was such a big deal.
@Ruciana Pollard I pray u and your mom are living a happy peaceful life beloved much respect and love❤️❤️❤️💯
@@rucianapollard4057 You have a very inside perspective on this. But it is lonely being on the other side of the prevailing sentiment.
@@corisimpson6017 Thank you!! Yes, my beautiful mother is 73 and in great health!! I am her only living child and we are very close!!
@@mark9531 Yes, I do. My mom was 5 when Emmett died, but I have aunts and uncles older than my mom who remember a lot more about that time than she does.
He was a young black child! Your not telling the whole truth about this get your facts right before opening your mouth!
He called Emmett a child in the description of the video
He called Emmett a boy at the end of the video
He called Emmett a young black man at the beginning of the video.
I think he covered all the bases.
EMMETT TILLS STORY LEAVES A BURNT IMPRESSION IN YOUR MIND ,LIKE WOUNDED NEE, HALCOST, OR ABUSE OF WOMEN IN AFGHANISTAN, IT MAKES ME LOOK INSIDE MY SELF AND ROUTE OUT ENY HATRED RIGHT DOWN TO THE BONE MARROW! !!⏰
I wonder do the children of all who played a part in that young man’s brutal death lives anonymously. There’s got to be quite a few generation of them. I hope I never ever accidentally run into one.
Rea talk cuz only god n me knows what will happen💯
Not fair to put that on the kids…I would hate the s#%t out of my father if he did something like that. Kids have nothing to do with their adult parents being a f#%k up…I reckon they carry around a great bit of shame and unnecessary guilt. Carolyn Bryant’s daughter is the one who contact someone and encouraged her mother to tell the truth.
@@lew708 hate 2 say it but they do suffer for the sins of your forfathers..its fucked up but its true....its in the bible
No, cause they probably was raised to hate people of color, they still doing what the (WS) / (KKK) do. It never ends, it's like we are reliving back in the 30 40 50 60 and the 70's, It's not going to change cause they run this raises world real talk.
@@nonot8175 Racism is still happening today and it should be stopped. I'm born in the UK and I lived here all my life. My ethnic is Asian and I follow Islam. We sometimes get hated too. I don't understand coz at the end of the day we're all just humans.
For years I read that the property was for sale, but for a lot of money. The garage next door has been restored.....
The man that owns the property is selling it for 4 million dollars! What an idiot!! Also, his father was a member of the jury that acquitted Bryant and Milam!!
Why do people say African American emmit was not born in Africa he was born in America so that makes him American in my book God rest his soul
And that's not the way u spell God , Got is wrong God is correct
@@natleymiller1394 it's a typo, I know how to spell "God". Have you nothing else better to do other than pick the wings off flies. Sad sad sad.
@@natleymiller1394 also that's not how "u"is spelled it's "you".
@@joearkle1327cuteness overload
Hes black 😑 anyone who is black is of african blood
Funny how you people want to cover a story years later
What you mean you people?
what a story
Ok. Let me get this straight, you called Emmett Till and cousins “African Americans” when back then every blacks person was called “Niggers”. Then you said someone (white) was popular. Exactly, who are we’re you referring to. The Rosa Parks bus story was true but, I never knew she didn’t give up her seat to a white person cause she had Emmett Till on her mind. This is the first I heard of that. WoW!
She did have Emmett on her Mind, It was true
@@dominiquewyatt6704 ♥️
Mrs. Rosa Parks said she thought about Emmett Till and she just couldn't give up her seat that day!!
@@rucianapollard4057 absolutely ❤️
Rosa Parks was NOT the first arrested for refusing to give up her seat in Birmingham. A lady named Claudette Colvin was in March 1955. In fact it was an incident that was entirely staged. Remember, Google can be your friend.
I have a question on this murder why lie about him it's not true I keep thinking why Carolyn Bryant lied about all of this I'm confused here
What you expect more racist white woman of course she lied and they're still doing it you know how many black men are in prison behind a white person lie
She lied because he was black and she know what that low life she was married to would do
Lied about what everbody agreed he said something to her only thing was a lie i see that somebody said he touched her an blow a kiss or something
You have to understand during those times people of color were made targets no matter what or where they went. I feel so terrible for his family. I always heard stories about Emmitt Till from my uncle’s and other family members. I am very happy to hear that his story will be told. He can know Rest In Peace .
@@joycejones4182 how can he rest in peace when justice is not served?
Did they completely tear down the grocery store?
I’m was wondering the same thing
It's still there today not torn down completely but it's in ruin now thanks to being abandoned for so long. It might collapse one day
The store is still standing. It is covered in vines, kudzu, I believe. I have heard rumors that preservationists have tried to buy the building but the family who owns it have refused to sell.
That's what u care about?
Nd she out living her life shii sad 😒😒 rip Emmett ✨🙏🏿💜
Her life has been miserable
Why do so many people pronounce his name as Emmet Tiww?
Why? You don't care about "Emmitt " you just showing how you (WS) leave us alone please and thank you, you don't care about him. (💯)!
🤣🤣😂🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
Following this let everyone know.
Wasn't the Rosa Park bus incident Birmingham not Montgomery? Didn't Martin Luther king or someone else also mention Emmett in one of their speaks shortly after?
It definitely was Montgomery. I am sure others, including King probably mentioned Till at some time. King was pastoring a church in Montgomery when Parks was arrested. He took leadership of the bus boycott movement soon after it began.
The previous evening Rosa Parks had been at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church in Montgomery. Theodore Roosevelt Mason Howard (TRM Howard) a civil rights worker from near Money had spoken there about the lynching of Emmett Till.
Rosa Clark stated that she thought of Emmett, and just could not move on that Montgomery Bus.
Why is there a marker at that store? Those people murder him. Take it down.
Weird i see this after carolyn bryant passed away, emmet till was a 14 year old child so f'd up but wow youtube works in a weied way
Wasnt til she admitted it.. everyone now wants to believe
Just came across your channel and your video concerning Emmett Till torture and murder. I cannot understand why you have covered this? Your channel is about your thoughts on death and life. Yet I hear no thoughts on Emmett torture and murder. Why cover this story it appears out of content.
Thank you for your comment. You are right about not focusing on Till's brutal murder. Because I try to keep these videos to just 2 minutes I have to pick and choose what to say. I chose two heroes in this tragic story, Emmett's Uncle Mose and Rosa Parks. I feel their connection to this story is under appreciated.
I don’t understand why you covered their story on your channel?? I still don’t?
Sir. You need to get your facts correct. The author did not have Mrs Bryant on tape saying she made the story up. Her and her family claim she never said such a thing
@@bradlott9876 ,LIES!
@@bradlott9876 that's a lie, she said she lied.... What difference does it makes, we all know she did lie anyway. It was common for a white women to finger a black man for something he didn't do.
ms parks also said she didd not get u cause she was tired and her feet hurt
Change your narrative sir!! He was NOT A YOUNG BLACK "MAN" he was a boy, 14 years old.
He called Emmett a young Black man in the beginning of the video
HE called Emmett a boy at the end of the video
He called Emmett a child in the description to the video.
I think he covered all the bases.
🤣🤣😂😂🤡🤡
I count my lucky stars that I wasn’t even born then 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🇬🇧
A 14 year old "boy" is not a man, Sir. Please correct this in your interpretation.
Good evening Pamela. You know if this white haired elderly gentleman had called Emmett a "boy" he would have been scolded for using a racist term.
He called Emmett a "young man" at the beginning of the video. At the end of the video, he called Emmett a boy. And later called Emmett a child.
____________________
But, now Pamela, this older white man, Hank Dunn, traveled 950 miles from Lansdown Virginia to Money Mississippi, at his own expense, to pay tribute to Emmett Till.
We need to keep the story of Emmett Till alive in this, and subsequent generations. And this man is doing just that. And yet, you feel it necessary to scold him for his word usage.
I think YOU need to correct your interpretation.
Emmett teal
Where are the videos made by Black people about Emmett Till? What Black person did meticulous research on the lynching of Emmett Till, and encapsulated the entire story in just 3 minutes.
Who bore the expense, gave up their time, used their talents to edit a video from in front of Bryant's Grocery in Money Mississippi?
___________________
The clarion call is: "Remember Emmett Till" "Say his name, Emmett Till" Never forget Emmett Till"
And yet, this man presented an *extremely accurate* recounting of Emmett Till's tragedy.
_______________________
But a dozen of you have *wrongfully* blistered this man because he did not call him a child. When he called him a boy, young man, and child all in the same video.
You condemned this man because he did not give a sufficiently gruesome account of his murder.
You chastised this man because he did not spend enough time crucifying Carolyn Bryant.
You accuse the man of not caring. If YOU cared, YOU would have made such a video.
You demand that this man not do such a video because it is not like the rest of his videos. That was the single stupidest comment here.
*WHERE ARE YOUR VIDEOS* There is not a single commenter on here who has done a story about Emmett Till while standing in Money Mississippi. *But you can sing every word of Cardi B's WAP.*
___________________________
Here is the TRUTH *If it were left up to Black people to tell the story of Emmett Till, he would have been forgotten by 1956.*
Never showed remorse for what she did. She remained just as illiterate and racist to her dirt covering.
You've got an awful lot of the story wrong. For starters, you didn't even care enough about Emmett Till to spell his name correctly in the title of your video. Carolyn never "lied", nor did she "admit to lying". The lie that you are ignorantly parroting was originated by author Timothy Tyson, who interviewed Carolyn in 2017 and CLAIMED she had admitted to lying, but Tyson's own audio recordings of the interview disproved his claim. Numerous witnesses present at the time, including the boys Emmett was with and Juanita Milam, gave statements confirming Emmett's sexual assault of the married 21 year old beauty queen. The disinformation that you're spreading is harmful. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Timothy Tyson interviewed Carolyn Bryant in 2007. He didn't have any audio or written evidence that Carolyn recanted her story, so the FBI closed the case for the final time.
However, Carolyn clearly lied about her encounter with Emmett in the store! If she was being assaulted, why didn't she scream?? Her sister-in-law was in the back room and would have heard her! When Bryant and Milam kidnapped Emmett, they said they were looking for, "the boy from Chicago" that did, "all that smart talk in Money!" They only mentioned, "talk" they said nothing about Emmett grabbing Carolyn.
When Carolyn Bryant related what happened to the attorneys, she never said that Emmett touched her!! That story was concocted when she testified in court!!
I read all the transcripts, witness testimonies, books, and whatnot on this subject. There are many inconsistencies within her own testimony. I'm not sure if Timothy Tyson is telling the truth or what his motives might be, but the only thing the witnesses (including his cousins) stated was that he whistled, not assaulted or attacked her in any way. Some even believed he was whistling at checkers that were being played that day or it was his stutter (he had a known lisp due to obtaining polio as a child). Her own sister-in-law believed she was "telling a story" to get back at her late ex-husband. I have a hard time believing that he had enough time to do what he said in under a minute or even a full minute (again, witness testimonies). I have a hard time believing a barely turned 14-year-old would say he had experiences with white women. She stated she screamed yet the store is small, had a window that witnesses outside could see, and her own sister-in-law did not hear or see anything. She even describes it as an insult, that he offended her, not attacked by him or anything like that, except for the trial itself. Her own unpublished book stated that Emmett was cocky to her killers when she stated before that she never told them who did it to her (back and forth on this). I highly, highly doubt that a barely 14-year-old who was just kidnapped from the people who love him, driven to an isolated place, and tortured would, during the pain and near death, would say "Yep, that was me" with a smile. Even so, what gives anyone the right to do this? What they did to him was inhumane and clearly an attack due to his skin color. There are many incidents within history that have done awful things like assault with more dignity like Brock Turner the R@pist. Here's the FBI resource if you wish to know more: vault.fbi.gov/Emmett%20Till%20
Whistling is hardly sexual assault. You know that.
rest in peace carolyn
Rest in peace more like burn in hell n can go join her ok 👍
can't we just move on?
Yes when racism ends.Until then No because it still exists whether you believe it or not‼️
You’d want your story to be remembered too!!
Never forget. Just like 911 right?
This story had to be told. Never forget
NO! Never forget, just like the Holocaust!!
