    There’s not a black person alive especially here in Chicago that did not grow up hearing about Emmett Till. He was only 14 years old at the time, it took place in Money , Mississippi 1955. That was such a shame. If Mr. Till were alive today he would be 80 years old.

Regardless of the subject of the article. It could be about someone's incredible achievement, or a horrific crime. No picture....period. My dad was so disgusted by it. In the 60s when we were selling our house, he infuriated the entire neighborhood by selling it to a black family. He said that man's money was a green as any white man's. My dad died last year, he was in his 90s. I never once in my entire life heard him make one single negative comment about any person of color. He treated every single person equal.

    Interesting fact about Dave Chappelle, which adds even more weight to this clip and explains his brilliant intellect: Look up who his great grandfather was, and also great-great grandfather.

    Gotta love Dave Chappelle, people laugh while he's talking about serious shit but he keeps talking cause he knows some people are listening. And we're all lucky that the industry hasn't drowned him, but tbat alone is also a testament to how good of a MC, performer, speech giver he is.

    Mr Chappelle is one of the most incredible comedian. I agree 100% with what Mr Altiti wrote "His jokes carry laughs and when he's being serious , his words carry weight. Cultural Icon" he said it perfectly. I love and respect Mr. Chappelle. I have watched him and Mr. Eddie Murphy for years they are the best.

    As soon as he said '14 year old boy' I knew he was talking about Emmett Till because my ex husband is a huge fan of Bob Dylan and when we first met in 1982 he played me the song The Death of Emmett Till. The same with Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter, Hattie Carroll and Medgar Evers. Songs that inspired me to look into the history of what had happened to them. Prior to this I had never heard any of their names before, but I am in England which probably explains that.

    I asked my dad one day, “Do you think people have purpose?”
    He said, “Of course I do.”
    And so I asked him if people have purpose, then why do people die at such a young age?
    He said “Because their death has an impact on those around them, and that makes change.” Always stuck by me and this story is a perfect and bright example of that. I think Emmett would be honored to be talked about by Dave Chappelle, and by everybody in the amount that he is today. I was lucky enough to have a history teacher who went outside of the textbooks and eventually landed right there at that point. History is important for these reasons. It’s one thing to change history, it’s wrong but at least you have maybe some details, but we should never, never cover it up. History is as sacred as religion.
