Thank you my brother. This brings me great comfort & soon all my Native American brothers & sisters will come back to life along with Emmett & others. God knows what has been done to all his children. And these DEMONS won't get away with it much longer. Be safe out there. 🙏🏽🌹
@jeanniestegner9915 History belongs in the past!!! Period!!!! When was the last time a young black man was lynched in this country for whistling at a WHITE girl????!!!! These days White girls are laying with black dudes all the time!!! You don't here about any uproar about that!!!!!
Incorrect. He whistled. I don't know why that's so hard for people to accept. Wheeler Parker was there. I interviewed him once and asked that very question. In his words, "It was just a whistle." He did not deserve to die because of a whistle.
This part. Like it’s still being tacitly rationalized.., so it’s palatable. Because we still can’t sit with the fact the fact that simmering in the shadows this type of hate erupts at the slightest provocation… We don’t want to examine what this represents about Us…
@@astar7090 But it's not being told wrong. He whistled. I don't understand what there is to be gained by claiming he didn't. Now, where you said above "she admitted it," would that be the interview she did with that book writer who claimed she recanted her story? If so, the public perception of what she lied about is incorrect. She didn't lie about the whistle. During the trial, there she gave testimony while the jury was out of the courtroom, saying that Emmett tried to rape her. The author says in his book that she admitted lying about that. But when the FBI questioned her about the author's claim, she denied ever saying that to him. And since the writer didn't have a recording of her saying that, his claim isn't convincing.
I thank you for this post. So many times black people are asked about racism and I feel it's hard for the hated to explain the hater. The reason, the origin, the feeling of righteousness. Where's the roots.
This is why I rarely watch the news these days. He did NOT whistle at that woman and before she died, she ADMITTED that she told a lie about it (to her husband). It's a long story so I'll spare the details, but research it and you'll be able to confirm what I just said.
Also, not watching the news as a whole because you don't get every speck of the story isn't a good reason to stay in the dark. If there's something you feel you need to learn more about, do that.

@KlyBell I respect your opinion, but I disagree. With talking to people everyday, or getting updates on my phone, I stay informed, I just don't watch it anymore. But thanks for the response.
I must admit, I've lived in the Mississippi Delta all of my life (knew the story) but I didn't know that this barn still existed. As the saying goes, never forget the past are we're condemned to repeat it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Haven't been inside the barn, just to the land on which it is located, while touring with a women's empowerment group, also went to see the shell of the Country store to hear the story of what happened there.
And the cops knew who did it… they had every chance to arrest her and REFUSED. They even found her arrest warrant or something sitting in papers at a building too!
I'm surprised someone owns it. I would've figured it was abandoned like that old store was. I'm glad the owner is negotiating with the guy from the Emmett Till nonprofit. I'd say let them have it and let them do whatever they want with it.
@@Ceeboo13 This was a horrific crime but we'll never know for sure what actually went down (whether he whistled at a woman or just whistled) considering everyone who witnessed it has died,
@TheLordOfNothing we know EXACTLY what went down, a 14 year old black boy was beaten to death by 2 ignorant, hateful, white men. Over a LIE by a white woman. I'm from the South buddy, don't try to play naive with me. This took place all the time in the South.
I don’t understand how you can treat people who have been here for centuries like this. How you can treat people like this over their race. And then we talk about other countries. We need a mirror in this country.
I was born in California, but raised in Tuscaloosa Alabama, and I lived in Mississippi for a short time. As a white man living in the deep south, this kind of stuff embarrasses me terribly.
The case was reopened in 2007, then closed in 2021 when during interview with DOJ, the woman stated that she did not recant her story. Dunham died in 2023 with the lie on her tongue. Professor Thompson (author)said she told him it was a lie.
If you read the book, they make it pretty clear that he did whistle. Stop holding onto things you think you consider is fact. This good literally interviewed people who were there that day.
My husband grew up on Sunflower Plantation just a few miles from the barn . He never knew what occurred there until a few years ago. I grew up in the delta too. We were never taught in school what happened right in our back door.
@@SadieMayNWA you can’t expect them to teach us about the evil they did. We should know these things by researching and reading our history. The information is out there for us to READ. I’m from Mississippi and didn’t know the history I know about us until I started reading and researching for myself.
I drive by that marker pretty regularly. I dont understand why anyone would shoot it. One of Robert Johnsons proposed grave sites is a few miles down the road from there.
This barn should become the site to the memory of Emmett Till and a sacred domain to those who loved him, a place of respect to the persecuted and a memorial to honor those who stepped forward to do the right thing and seek justice. And bless his mom for keeping that casket open, as we know how heartbreaking this must have been during those painful days of upheaval and loss. We cannot rewind the past and make it better, but we sure can learn from it. Godspeed...🙏🙏
I was Trying Not to cry Throughout, but As soon as They opened the barn and stepped in I lost it... Soo Tragic. Poor Mr.Reed. He was tormented The rest of his Life hearing Emmett Till Screams of Agony until he died... But He Bravely Stood up Against Evil. He Spoke up For Emmett. He did Right by him. Everything needs to be preserved especially the Barn Where He Suffered at the hands Of EviL.
I applaud Emmett's mother for having the courage to show him in his coffin, and Willie Reed for stepping forward to testify. I thank those working to preserve their legacies.
The fact that they have to periodically replace the memorial sign because it is riddled with bullets tells us all we need to know. It still isn’t safe for black people in Mississippi
@@AwesomeAngryBikeryou must be one of the descendants. Even the descendants are often complacent. Who do you think was hiding that racist Karen who got him killed?
Just finished the book today. It was great to put a face to the author i listened to for 11 hours. Btw... lots of misinformation in the comments. I highly suggest everyone read the book. Dozems of comments here stating he didnt't whistle. The problem is... He did so. Doesn't justify what happened, but the author interviewed people who were there who coroborated as such. The book is so much more than just that one occurance. There is a reason why a simple whistle escalated this far.
"lots of misinformation in the comments. " The comments reflect Social Media. And there is a new conspiracy borne every day. There were 100 professional journalist, on the ground in Mississippi during the investigation and trial. Book writers have used their interviews, articles, and facts to compile their books.

@nghtwtchmn129 There are people shoot all over America, why are you bring up Chicago. You don’t care about the people just like you don’t care about the Till family. Your ancestors probably were down with him being killed “putting the colored people in their place” is what your grandfather probably called which you now call “owning the libs”. People like you have no genuine respect for Justice so stop pretending you to troll .
Didn't that lady recently die and even on her death bed, denied any responsibility for what she did, and I think even her family says she did nothing wrong?
But he didn't whistle at her... More than 60 years later in 2022 she was found to be living in Bowling Green, Ky. My town. People, protestors came to town, wanted justice for Emmett. Locals wanted her to be punished and took to court also. It was a big thing here. I believe she ended up dieing. But it was something to find out she was here and people were very upset. I agree she should not have lied like she did. I feel So sorry for Emmet. I don't know if she got run out of town but i read someones comment on here that she died in NC
How disgusting that people shoot at Emmet's marker. Unbelievably evil people 🤬😡. they got to live out their lives. And the second guy has a black skeleton in the closest based on his looks. 🧐🤔 Someone was "passing"
Good evening Barbara. You said; "he was a Black child" They could have been more descriptive of his exact age. But, let's point out that this book, Mississippi, A History by John Bittersworth was written in *1959* Now, if Mississippi was trying to erase this terrible blight on their history, such a vivid description of this lynching, only 4 years previous, is contrary to the claim that Mississippi was trying to ignore their bloody past. The book states that two men kidnapped, tortured, murdered and threw Emmett's body in the river.
How so? And why are you conflating what happened to Emmett Till to native americans other than you don’t want to reminded of this nations racist and systemic anti-Black history. So you would rather divert attention to native Americans at least that is what it is giving.
@@kiaraditmasaRight. Of course Natives were murdered and robbed of their own land and I for one could NEVER forget or excuse it. Why is it that when Black Americans plight in America is brought up, we get hit with “they’re not the only ones” trope 🤔
@ Especially since many Native Americans also enslaved Africans. The United States army had to go to Oklahoma to force the Cherokees to free their African slaves.
Just watching The view as you're driving up to the barn puts a knot in your stomach and then when the man opens up the door the reporter is clearly upset that's when you know everything hits home and a story because reality!😢 And oddly enough at the very back of the barn you see a cross and an angel God settle way of saying this will not be forgotten 💯🥺💔
Just read this book and can’t recommend it enough. Especially now. It’s a very troubling and devastatingly sad story, one we should all know so as not to let Emmet’s unjust suffering be in vain. God bless him and his brave mother Mamie. ❤
This reporter, hearing his voice shudder and the pain of just breathing when he saw that room in that Barn, says so much to me, and I can feel it, pretty sure I would have felt the same exact way
I’m surprised that this barn hasn’t been burned down after all these years. Either by people outraged over this crime or even the owner not wanting a piece of that history on their land.
Candace, Scott and Donaldson need a history lesson. This I hurtful. Mississippi will pay for the evil they done and tried to cover I up. That's why the barn is still there.
There has never been a question that Emmett Till wolf-whistled at Carolyn Bryant, until Social Media. Social Media has so revised this horrible tragedy that it is completely unrecognizable. ______________________ Nothing could justify the grotesque torture innocent Emmett Till went through. But making Emmett into the second coming of Jesus Christ does not make his lynching any more unforgivable.
They walked away physically free. But lost their sharecropper workers, lost their business and died of cancer. Not as gruesome as what Till went through unfortunately
Beautifully done piece. I commend the journalist, the writer and Willy Reed. Interesting that the MI textbook calls Emmett a young Black man. He was a teenager. This event should not shame residents rather they should rise and show best of humanity and say we will do better, we are doing better.
There has never been any question that Emmett wolf-whistled at Carolyn Bryant. She lied about the sexual assault INSIDE the store. Here are the witnesses, who were at the store, who testified that Emmett whistled at Carolyn Bryant. Ruthie Mae Crawford, Roosevelt Crawford, John Crawford, Robert Wright, Simeon Wright, Wheeler Parker, Albert Johnson, Jr., Elliott Thelton “Pete” Parker, Carolyn Bryant, Maurice Wright.
I’m got stuck in the mud at that farm back in Sept (I have pics). The owner of the property was super cool and got me out. I sure have one hell of a story. Dr Andrews is a nice guy.
Today is Saturday December 7th 2024 and I’m presently in Orange Beach Alabama..it still to this day haunts and humbles me..terrifies and enrages me, the act in and of itself then and the path still without remorse and accountability and acknowledgement and justice being plyed today! No difference the years have brought-they still walk with heads held high with an aura of righteous indignation! My heart goes out to the family of Emitt Till and those of us still undergoing such in today’s present day!
Im glad they showed this. They need to show more like this. Every Sunday. Bring up something from history that folks dont know. Especially, black history. We would like the updated, corrected, and not white washed story. Thank you .
Great video. Hey America these types of stories are not going to be allowed to be told anymore in 2025. The thought that the Department of Education is going to be dismantled and the introduction of project 2025. Our American history is tragic but it has come so far.

They could have been more descriptive of his exact age. But, let's point out that this book, Mississippi, A History by John Bittersworth was written in *1959*
Now, if Mississippi was trying to erase this terrible blight on their history, such a vivid description of this lynching, only 4 years previous, is contrary to the claim that Mississippi was trying to ignore their bloody past.
The book states that two men kidnapped, tortured, murdered and threw Emmett's body in the river.
Look at what we did to native Americans. Most people don't even know black Friday is really native American heritage day.
How so? And why are you conflating what happened to Emmett Till to native americans other than you don’t want to reminded of this nations racist and systemic anti-Black history. So you would rather divert attention to native Americans at least that is what it is giving.
@@kiaraditmasawow really
@@kiaraditmasaRight. Of course Natives were murdered and robbed of their own land and I for one could NEVER forget or excuse it. Why is it that when Black Americans plight in America is brought up, we get hit with “they’re not the only ones” trope 🤔
@ Especially since many Native Americans also enslaved Africans. The United States army had to go to Oklahoma to force the Cherokees to free their African slaves.
@ wow, I didn’t know that, I appreciate you informing me. I’m now going to do my research on this.
Just watching The view as you're driving up to the barn puts a knot in your stomach and then when the man opens up the door the reporter is clearly upset that's when you know everything hits home and a story because reality!😢 And oddly enough at the very back of the barn you see a cross and an angel God settle way of saying this will not be forgotten 💯🥺💔
Just read this book and can’t recommend it enough. Especially now. It’s a very troubling and devastatingly sad story, one we should all know so as not to let Emmet’s unjust suffering be in vain. God bless him and his brave mother Mamie. ❤
This reporter, hearing his voice shudder and the pain of just breathing when he saw that room in that Barn, says so much to me, and I can feel it, pretty sure I would have felt the same exact way
I’m surprised that this barn hasn’t been burned down after all these years. Either by people outraged over this crime or even the owner not wanting a piece of that history on their land.
Candace, Scott and Donaldson need a history lesson. This I hurtful. Mississippi will pay for the evil they done and tried to cover I up. That's why the barn is still there.
This case makes me sick. Injustice for sure.
Amen. It is appalling, what those two Democrats did to Emmett Till.
Stop saying Emmett whistle at that demon, do your research, that young man did nothing, I pray those demons are in hell.
I never learned about this till ten years ago and it is a story that should be taught. We can't change the past but we can learn from it!
If you don’t learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.
Remember this, our Creator NEVER turn a blind eye on "your" judgment day.
And the ultimate Judge didn't let the killers go free.
Amen. Waiting for resurrection day where I meet Emmett. 🙏🏽
When you ban books, you're essentially erasing history. 😢
That’s what they want. For us to forget and get dumber 😢
How could that evil woman live with her self?
Imagine a place where almost everyone is on your side no matter what. Blaming a black person back then was a go fund me.
@ There better be a hell for sure.
@@EnronnSierra There is.
She and the others responsible for Till's death didn't get past the ultimate Judge: God
She lived 88 years and that’s the most surprising thing.
At this time in our country I can’t watch this PAINFUL segment. It’s still too fresh & the results of this election has renewed this memory. 💔
He didn’t whistle at the woman she lied to get your facts straight. This is despicable, how many years later and people still don’t know…
There has never been a question that Emmett Till wolf-whistled at Carolyn Bryant, until Social Media.
Social Media has so revised this horrible tragedy that it is completely unrecognizable.
______________________
Nothing could justify the grotesque torture innocent Emmett Till went through. But making Emmett into the second coming of Jesus Christ does not make his lynching any more unforgivable.
Wow. So powerful. Thank you.
They walked away physically free. But lost their sharecropper workers, lost their business and died of cancer. Not as gruesome as what Till went through unfortunately
stop regurgitating “he whistled”. not only is it false, but it’s irrelevant.
Truth Be Told. Emmett Till R.I.P.
@60minutes you need to make a correction. He did not whistle at her and her lying a$$ never made amends!!
MAY HE R.I.P. 🥀💔❣️
This was so sad I told my son about this story it's good to know about your history
I am so sorry for that young man losing his life over something so small! History can not and should not be erased! May God bless the family!
The Barn seems like an insightful book. I hope to read this book.
So sad, as a mother this story breaks my heart. They need to make that place into a museum and talk about it !!!!! Silence is our enemy!
Beautifully done piece. I commend the journalist, the writer and Willy Reed. Interesting that the MI textbook calls Emmett a young Black man. He was a teenager. This event should not shame residents rather they should rise and show best of humanity and say we will do better, we are doing better.
He did NOT whistle at the woman. That was the lie she told. Please don’t perpetuate the lie!
There has never been any question that Emmett wolf-whistled at Carolyn Bryant. She lied about the sexual assault INSIDE the store.
Here are the witnesses, who were at the store, who testified that Emmett whistled at Carolyn Bryant.
Ruthie Mae Crawford, Roosevelt Crawford, John Crawford, Robert Wright, Simeon Wright, Wheeler Parker, Albert Johnson, Jr., Elliott Thelton “Pete” Parker, Carolyn Bryant, Maurice Wright.
Wonderful piece. The perpetrators might not have been held accountable, but God has held them accountable. ✝️🙏🏻
I’m got stuck in the mud at that farm back in Sept (I have pics). The owner of the property was super cool and got me out. I sure have one hell of a story. Dr Andrews is a nice guy.
Today is Saturday December 7th 2024 and I’m presently in Orange Beach Alabama..it still to this day haunts and humbles me..terrifies and enrages me, the act in and of itself then and the path still without remorse and accountability and acknowledgement and justice being plyed today! No difference the years have brought-they still walk with heads held high with an aura of righteous indignation! My heart goes out to the family of Emitt Till and those of us still undergoing such in today’s present day!
Who?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Rest in peace, young man. We’re fighting for you and many others still. We love you, Emmett.
How are you "fighting"? What are you "fighting" against? What are you "fighting" for?
Im glad they showed this. They need to show more like this. Every Sunday. Bring up something from history that folks dont know. Especially, black history. We would like the updated, corrected, and not white washed story. Thank you .
Hate in the Bible belt.
Absolutely. 100%. Because most Xtians follow the OT, not the NT.
Ironic, isn't it?
It's almost as bad as a typical weekend's violence in Chicago.
Great video. Hey America these types of stories are not going to be allowed to be told anymore in 2025. The thought that the Department of Education is going to be dismantled and the introduction of project 2025. Our American history is tragic but it has come so far.
Is there something wrong with you?
Stories like these aren't going anywhere and Project 2025 isn't gonna happen.
Project 25 isn’t nothing new 👍
Sadly, DEPT OF Education primarily teaching legislation like
California AB 1955
I know that from living there and why I GDF outta California 👍
TBC
🇹🇿🇺🇬❤️🦾🐈⬛🤐👍
God bless this poor young man. Rest in peace.
Every black person knows this story.
"Should"
Every white person should know this story.
Let’s say every person should know this story-black, white, whatever.
That is not true.
ERASING HISTORY !!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY SAD !!!
Aren't we doing the same thing when taking down statues and changing the names of schools and military bases that's changing history
@@jayg4243
Exactly.
@@jayg4243 Though I saw earlier this yr a couple of schools in VA went back to their old names. I'm hoping the military bases get their old names back.
