The failure of justice for Emmett Till
ฝัง

- "Till" is the new film about 14-year-old Emmett Till, a Black youth from Chicago visiting Mississippi in 1955, who was abducted and murdered - a crime that helped spark the civil rights movement. In this excerpt from an October 24, 2004 "60 Minutes" report by our late colleague Ed Bradley, Till's final days are recounted, along with the ensuing murder trial that failed to bring justice.

The sad thing is, those men could have confessed in the courtroom that they killed Emmett Till, and that jury would have still voted not to convict.
Exactly - sounds familiar. "I could shoot someone dead on 5th Avenue and get away with it."
@@baroquejen dumb comment
@@baroquejen Kris Herman was right, baroquejen. They weren't going to convict those men, regardless of the evidence.

"I could shoot someone dead on 5th Avenue and get away with it."
Two weeks before Emmett was murdered on August 13, 1955, Lamar Smith, 63 yo WWI vet, was shot dead in cold blood on the crowded courthouse lawn in Brookhaven, Mississippi.
Of the dozens of witnesses included Sheriff Robert E. Case.
No charges were filed. Mr. Lamar Smith's crime: Encouraging blacks to vote.
They were born into entitlement.
Sadly you are correct
What they did to this child is beyond disgusting
Hearing the name and his story, as well as his death, makes my feelings so dark and so horrid, since he deserved so much better than anything so cruel done to him.
What whyte pipo have done and still do to Black folks...Is both, horrible, horrendous and a continual crime against humanity...As it has been, since 1619...
I just don’t understand how they could do these evil horrible things to him and he never got justice this whole story heartbreaking l never forget Emmett hos mom or what happened to him
this is why everyone needs to VOTE DEMOCRAT in the upcoming elections! JUSTICE FOR EMMETT TILL! JUSTICE FOR GEORGE FLOYD! JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL BROWN! JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN! JUSTICE FOR AHMAUD ARBERY! JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS AT MOTHER EMANUEL AME CHURCH IN CHARLESTON, SC!!! #BLACKLIVESMATTER

When has the democratic party ever provided us with justice? We have two cover political parties that are controlled by corporations. Black lives never mattered.
I have huge respect for Mamie Till. That she not only survived the loss of her only child but held a public viewing so the world could see what was done to her beautiful child. Then continued to live, remarry and go on with her life. And participate in documentaries about this case (I've seen two) with such calmness and strength, I'm in awe. Rest in peace, Mamie, you have been reunited with your child.
Dear Kimbo, 💛 U. Your comment is so respectful and beautiful . Mamie is with her son looking at his beautiful teeth. Sweet dreams Kimbo K may you always have peace and love.
So True Rest I'n Paradise to Emmett till and Mamie Till.💔💋🙏
Do you know about her husband? Louis Till? Emit Tills father? He did not 'die in service'. He was convicted in military court of raping and killing two Italian woman while on tour in Italy. You think 'he's a good guy fighting in the war'. He was sentenced to serve. After beating Mamie Till, the court told him to choose between prison and cannon fodder in the war, he chose the war and raped and pillaged his way into two young White girls and killed them. Father like son, he wanted he got.
I still do not understand why that woman isn’t brought to justice. I don’t care if she’s 88. I pray she answers for her crime with Emmitt standing next to God himself on her judgement day. She will never wash the blood from her hands.
This "God" created the very Devil he is punishing mankind for but people believe they have free will so they accept it. Now think about a keyword FORESIGHT and ask yourself where God fits into that. 😒
I know. They found an old arrest warrant for her which was never served.
i heard she has cancer and she's gonna be rotting in the grave VERY SOON
@@pringleberg6826 She lived out her life and doesn't all body in the grave rot 🤔😒.. These notions are outright ridiculous because this woman has not faced prosecution and that's the problem!
@@crawnyxx I agree.
Now the KAREN, Caroline Bryant says Emmitt did NOT whistle. She says he didn't do ANYTHING. When he took his change his hand touched her hand how most people's hand does in a simple transaction. These people are SAVAGES not connected to humanity
I remember hearing this story when i was a kid. It broke my heart then and continues to break my heart ever time I hear it. Thank God they made a movie about it so it can't be swept under the rug and people wake up to the reality of hatred.

This story cannot be forgotten. Such a tragedy. My heart goes out to Emmett.
What they did to this child is beyond disgusting..and all involved should be in jail, should’ve been.
They may be somewhere much worse than jail.
Sad that they were all able to walk free still till this day. The ones still alive I ment. That old lady should be in prison!!!!!
In pictures of Carolyn Bryant, her eyes tell the story of the times! Not sadness or pride, but a defiant, entitled, menacing hated that seemed to pervade her entire being. Yet her true worth was no more than any other woman walking the earth at that time. This story has gripped me and I can’t seem to shake it!
me too
I hate that women so much I’m glad she at least got harassed
Listen to Bob Dylan's song "The Death Emmitt Till", Dylan wrote it the early 60s. The words will sting your eyes, you can hear it on TH-cam, Sirius, Pandora...etc. May, Emmitt and his mother Mamie Till-Mobley rest in peace. ( this song is how I learned about Emmitt Till when I was young.)
Me too 😢
the thing that drives me crazy about Till's story is how there are people who decades later can hear it and turn his death into a big joke by descreting his memorials.
His father was wartime rapist and murderer in Italy. He was executed for raping two and murdering multiple Italian women. He was forced duty, he had to choose between war and prison for beating emit tills mother. This "funny" because it's karma for his family. His son died trying to get in Whitegirl pants while his daddy did die for forcing his way into Whitegirl pants.
Sadly, that's because racism is still alive & well in our world today.
They dont do it as a joke. Racism is still alive and well the the people doing are the people who would have done what was done to Emmit back in the day
It's hard to believe adults killed a middle school aged kid and got away with it only like 60 some years ago.
unbelievable
Technically they got away with it today because that white woman who accused the little boy is 88 years old and has not been brought to justice. She's alive. She's living her whole life free right now.
American justice did not fail. It worked just the way it was designed to work 🤷🏾♀️
This comment is so accurate it hurts.
This one incident from 70 years ago describes the justice system and current black violence describes the black community?. Is that how this works
@@mr.horrorchild4094 If you're gonna troll, at least put some basic effort into it so it comes off as vaguely convincing.
@@BlownMacTruck I asked a question, are you not interested in addressing it or are you here to nurture your grievances?
@@mr.horrorchild4094 it’s a bad faith question. Both assumptions you made are based on fallacies and have been been negated endlessly over the past two decades. If you’re going to troll, try it with something newer that hasn’t been logically stomped into the ground and pulverized into debate dust.
That poor child what they did to him was a disgrace How can any human being do something like that too another human let alone a child it makes me very sad to hear this may he be resting in peace
Most white people then didn’t view black people as human. They were property or a subhuman species. That’s why they did what they did without much thought.
My grandmother was the same age. I never heard about his story in history class. He deserved to live till he was 100 years old. He was only 14 years old.
So Insane!! If Emmett’s family actually did something when he was being taken than that would’ve been a death sentence for all of them in court and they knew it and so did Bryant. 70 years ago or not, that little boy needs justice before it’s too late!!
Yes, JUSTICE! ... even now.
Exactly. They stayed alive so they could tell their story.
Those people are still alive, they never even served her the paperwork. She recanted her story...
@@randalllaue4042
We were warned...
"...man is a liar."
@@randalllaue4042 Carol Bryant, is still alive. The two men are dead.
Hopefully it’s a great film. R.I.P. Mamie Till and Emmett. She carried this thing inside her chest for 50 years, and no one gave her justice.
I just saw it today.Go see it.
Listen to Bob Dylan's "The Death of Emmitt Till "....your eyes will sting. Peace.
Rest in Peace, Emmitt and Mamie..
It's amazing
Imagine the kind of hearts and minds of the adults involved who in good conscience could do this to a child and go right back to living their lives post-trial as if lying on, kidnapping and torturing a child to death was normal and just.
And then write about it proudly in Look Magazine!
I agree ......I've been really depressed about this story . Can't stop crying from the pain ......and fear. They were all human demons.
Makes you wonder how many other people they’ve done the same too but were never caught.
@@meekmill8677 right, When they get caught is almost Never the first time!
imagine coming from a line of known and convicted rapists and following in the steps of your forefathers.... Louis Till also had a passion for white women. After beating his wife he was forced to choose between serving in WWII or prison. While in Italy he took a little "war prize" and raped and murdered two Italy girls along. He was tried, convicted, and hung. The harasser you are defending is that mans direct kin. I believe God punished his family line for his actions. Simple as. Bad man = bad karma.
Hard to watch this without getting angry
What a disgusting crime,and what a dark energy in that awful place..😔😔😔
STILL going on in Mississippi
@@alexandrajackson8498 I know is really sad, disturbed and wrong..
In a personal note,I did write a reflection about it,some people think USA sin was slavery,but for my eyes and heart was HATE..! Hate that was in peoples heart already,going to church, pretending to know GOD..
Practicing the wrong religious dogmas general speaking,mixed with white supremacy controlled by hate..
Hate that make people turn a blind eye,be deaf,be silence,be complicit and turn a blind eye..Even be color blind too,hate that gave them permission to be the monster they kept quite,behind doors,but at some time in their lives,could not keep in invisible chains..It needed to be free and wild..! Until we as a conscious mind do not confront our own internal demons and realize if you practice the wrong religious dogmas? And keep thinking Jesus was a white guy to begin? Speeding lies and white supremacy practices underneath the Bible,and we don't adknowlege it wide open and without any fear ? We are not going to fix what is broken,split, scattered inside our hearts and Souls..!
For me as an Indigenous rebel heart by nature, religious was the worse thing happening to my people in the name of GOD! Especially with the wrong perception and personification of a white guy holding too much power,and some people abused that power to benefit themselves in a million ways..
Anyway at least for me slavery was a consequence,but the real crime still is HATE inside some broken hearts and loss souls! 😶😶😑
almost as dark as the "dark energy" at the Capitol on Jan 6th. Well, dark energy and backwoods retardation.
No kidding..Same source of energy: HATE! 😐😶😑😔
*DARK* energy? That's racist!!!
Thanks for keeping this story alive.
I don't want to keep it alive...
@@Mimi-cg2cw Why? Just let it die, as so many other cases?
@@Imissyoulou Can't believe a black woman is saying that!
@@donnabaardsen5372 BELIEVE IT.
They'll have nothing to lean on if we move forward, they've been cursed and must try to drag us all down with them
It's sickening that Carolyn got away with this and is still alive. So many monsters like her from that era are still among us too.
I am 37, I will be 38 in 15 days. I remember going to Mississippi with my Grandparents, they gave us a list of do's and don'ts. That was in the late 1980s and 1990s.
The jury decision should be overturned by the Governor in a way similar to how South Africa conducted their sessions acknowledging apartheid. Nothing will bring these people back or heal the wounds totally, but acknowledging the horrors committed forces us to remember so we never see this again!!! Wake Up America!!
Yes, agreed.
It is written…
“You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.”
-James 5:5
At last count, 43 people have been shot in Till's hometown this weekend. Nine of them were juveniles. Ten of these people died. They will all be forgotten by next weekend.
That'll never happen...
Because that would lead to giving back
the land to Native Americans.
"wake up"
I question you this. Who was Emit Tills father?
Does Karma account for nothing?
Did Emit Tills family open wounds against anyone else?
Do they not deserve consequence?
Emit Tills father, had to choose between WWII and prison, because he ruthlessly beat Emit Tills mother.
He chose war. During his escapades him and another "victim of white supremacy" where found guilt of raping and murdering multiple Italian women while on tour.
He rightfully was shot in his head.
I believe God ended his bloodline because his father was the real monster and God didn't want him to have children.
The lady that caused all of it is still alive. Justice can still be served to some degree
I'm confused as to what crime she committed. Lying.? And she didn't even lie to police. So what would she be charged with?
@@dorianmarchelgray5292 they had an arrest warrant already written up for her. They just hid it.
She was present when he was kidnapped, tortured, AND murdered. She could be charged as an accessory and a conspirator to those crimes
@@dorianmarchelgray5292 but shes involved wasn't she? in the movie she told the man that's him after they kidnappa him
Seen this on TV this morning in Oklahoma. I cried ...and remembered I bought the book. His.......teeth the most beautiful thing his Mother ever seen......🌹♥️🥀♥️🌹
Wow what a horrible injustice . Very sad story
That girl that caused this is gonna have her day. It's coming sooner than later with every day that passes now
@Asain Racist speaks truth wtf
The jurors that carried out this injustice are just as guilty!!!
I believe God has the final say.
Justice for all🙌🏼
Still think they should bring Carolyn Bryant up on charges.
Yeah, put that old POS in prison.
I so much want to see this film….but the Horror of what those vile “people” did and that that society allowed and celebrated by not holding those “vile” people accountable…..turns my stomach and upsets me to no end … I can not see this film….but I hope many many go and that this will bring on a change!
Got it. I'm afraid if I do see it i will have night mares for the rest of my life.
The human race never fails to disgust me! And I am white!
Mamie said that she had let the past go, saying an angel came to her telling her that "Emmett didn't belong to her, he was one of us sent through you for a purpose and those envolved will answer to us"

In any given Summer, 100,000 youngsters traveled from North to South to see relatives. It was a risk anytime a black was seen on a Southern street. However, it was a calculated risk worthy of making to see relatives left in the southern states.

It is wrong to blame the innocent for the actions of the wicked. There were a dozen things, which, had the innocent done differently, may have prevented the wicked from doing their dirty deeds.
But wicked people do wicked things because they are wicked. Not because innocent people lead innocent lives.
The Hatred in their hearts and mind is the cause of that young man's demise. To think a part of America laid down laws that didn't protect us from such malevolent behavior. America's Government is the Blame as well. That system allowed those men to walk. That was Death Penalty case. What they did was beyond the pale. They looked at him and said we are going to make an example out of you. The envy and hatred in their hearts. The smashing of his teeth and the gouging of his beautiful eyes ,and his skin tone made them even more livid. He died for being a Beautiful Black Young kid. Oh, he whistled at some ordinary White Woman in the Jim Crow South. Emmett probably didn't see what he has done was wrong. If he did that what they said. A two minute encounter turned into a execution. I could imagine the fear in his mind when they kidnapped him. This 14 handsome young man. He knew or maybe he didn't that he was never ever going to see his Mother again. Taking him in that Barn and doing what they did out of Hate, and Fear of the BLACK Man. That's why I will say it proud on my own volition. BLACK LIVES MATTER AMERICA: get in your mind and marinate the words. BLACK LIVES MATTER. Until our Lives Matter. That is the slogan. No Justice for this child till now. That tells me. Their is still more to do be done.
Actually he wasn’t afraid. The original intent was just to slap him around and scare him. But when he wasn’t scared at all, that’s when they decided an example had to be made. I’m sure once the beating started he became terrified.
My heart breaks for that little boy. ❤
I just can't understand the horrible hatred it takes to do something like that to not just a human being but a CHILD. There are so many people in this country right now, today, that have the same exact hatred in the songs of hearts that would have no problem doing the same thing. They are called, Maga.
That is a horribly hateful and ignorant statement. Could you please be specific and provide us with the statistical proof? I cannot recall reading about children being tortured and killed while they attended Maga rallies... Instead of gleefully promoting baseless accusations, and perpetuating toxic stereotypes, enlighten us with your data...

Money, Mississippi needs to be held accountable and sued for Till's death. Any and all monetary means collected from the City where this injustice hatred breathes should be awarded to the Till's estate and family.
There wasn't a failure of justice. This is exactly how the justice system in the US was designed. It worked perfectly, as designed.
I'm not one to get emotional, but this story had me wiping away tears.

Oh if only to have done to Bryant and Milam what they did to Emmett Till. I hope Miss Carolyn Bryant knows no peace for the rest of her wretched days.
She has been doing pretty good over the last 60 + years. She is still a white woman.
Many Black hair salons had the Jet Magazine issue with Emmitt Till's story. A lot of us never forgot. Folks like Caroline Bryant are still roaming around. You better understand and wise up. It didn't go away completely but this way of life is trying to make a full comeback. This is not how you want to live. You know it. You see it. You may even know them personally. It's not a game out here.
Imagine finding your child like that. Mangled body weighted down, their eye missing, ear missing, severely bloated body, shot in the head, and tortured to death. I don’t know how his Mother lived after that. I would’ve let go
I'm still horrified what they did to this poor boy. His poor Mama and the community. 💔
That reporter should have given that money to Emmitt's family.
Yes, when a black person dies the family immediately wants money
The state of Mississippi should have been prosecuted and held accountable for what happened. Just disgusting
In some ways Mississippi hasn't progressed that far.
These murderers didn’t go to jail but they may have thought that they had gotten away with it but in God’s eyes you never get away with something that cruel. I don’t know what the future did but they probably suffered in some way because nobody gets away with something sooo cruel to do to a 14 year old boy
Oh stop with the BS those evil people lived long lives and she's still alive
At least they suffered from the cancer they deserved. They were a cancer on society.
@@brooklynbred1460 And of course you missed the entire point. Long life means nothing. There are prisons without bar's, and those guilty of evil always get it in different ways in return. By the very early 1970s, black's were treated with respect, and Emmet's murderers could not hide behind prejudice anymore. They didn't end up in jail, but were in all likelihood subjected to open scorn and worse accordingly. And that does include their entire families. Including those still alive, their kids. How about you try living down having parent's like that. Seriously, you're not very deep and discerning. Your comment makes that obviously clear.
I hear neither one of them ever had a "successful" life and, more importantly, both died of cancer. I just hope it was very painful deaths. The person that started it all, Carolyn Bryant, never paid a penatly and she is owed some harsh punishment also.
@@donnabaardsen5372 You're being rude based on assumptions. You can state your feeling without being insulting.
Hard to believe life was like this almost 70 years ago, that's not even a long time.
The animals who murdered him are getting their punishment right now. God is the best and final judge whether you believe in him or not.
I had the opportunity to meet Simeon Wright. He wrote a book, and signed my copy. I read it for the first time right after I heard the news about George Floyd. 😢
This is so so sad… Emmet’s mom was a hero and so very strong… hopefully the devil is doing what the courts never did
This is so heartbreaking and Sad 😢 God Bless Emmet Till's Family

It's a story that will forever haunt me
The reaction of the local Sheriff to have Emmett Till buried, if that doesn't smell of a guilty reaction then I don't know what is
Not many people bring up William Shatner's film THE INTRUDER (1962) as something to watch, but it was EASILY the most gripping piece of film that makes you quickly want to throw something at Shatner, the antagonist. While that was based on a fiction novel, Emmett lived to become the real life story where even then, people at the time were so complicit that it mimicked the novel. The woman lied! She became the antagonist. She wasn't even scolded or tortured for lying in the same way as Emmett. Someone should STILL "throw the book" at her. It's called justice. CURRENT AGE of 88 shouldn't have dismissed her from serving her time.

I gotta have a warning before I see that photo man😵💫😵💫😵💫. I get disgusted yes. But it makes me incredibly angry at how cruel these people could be
1955.
Not too long ago.
But things haven't changed.
Just look at Blanco's opposition to Critical Race Theory.
Just look at Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
Yes, just about seventy years ago. Of course the notorious violence of young black men right now is because of slavery
Hopefully justice will be served. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I remember well reading this tragic, tragic story.... It struck a chord deep within me, and it still very much bothers me to this very day....
If the household knew the ramifications? I wish they could have sent Emmitt away from there. His mom was much brave. They sent witnesses away after testifying? I will never understand the disgusting protocol from back then.
Not that it matters…but did he whistle or not? His own cousin, who was there just said he did…but apparently Caroline later said she lied and he didn’t whistle at her…
NOTHING EXCUSES WHAT THEY DID TO EMMIT, my question is just seeking clarity.
I'm thinking he might have agreed just to save himself from being another victim. who knows what would have happened if he had disagreed with the story then. just guessing.
Infuriating....
Oh now the name "Till" makes sense.I have to go see it
The captions should be corrected. This event was extremely traumatizing and it deserves the correct captions.
Unspeakable.
RIP lovely boy. J
Wouldn't it be terrible if people started desecrating the graves of J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant the way the racists have desecrated the memorial to Emmet in Mississippi?
J.W. Milam
Greenlawn Memorial Gardens
Greenville, Washington County, Mississippi, USA
Roy Bryant
Lehrton Cemetery
Ruleville, Sunflower County, Mississippi, USA
Loved the focus was payed to who Emmitt was as a person, the loving relationship of mother and son, black family. Ms Deadwyler, learn her name get your sunglasses her star power is blinding.
I remember watching a documentary on this a few years ago on the history channel shocking story. I think this an important film to see i will go and see it.
The woman who put emmet till in this situation in the first place is still alive ! She’s even on Facebook!
Oh I didn't know that! Duhhh!
sad story
