- In “The Lost Story of Emmett Till: Then & Now,” the third and final installment of NBC Chicago's docuseries about Emmett Till, investigative journalist Marion Brooks travels to Mississippi and uncovers the most startling, previously unknown facts that provide the biggest updates to Emmett’s story in recent memory.
Can you imagine the amount of hatred you have to have in you to do that to a child?!
It's unfathomable to me
There was so much hatred in these men's hearts, there was no room for love of any kind! Living life devoid of love is a miserable existence!
@@rucianapollard4057 hatred and alcohol
@@llianneolivoreyesmusic agree, liquor was definitely in the mix
@@rucianapollard7098 No blaming alcohol. This was happening all over America. They would have lynching parties,picnics with adults and children eating barbecue and drinking Coca-Cola ,Kool Aid. It's the nature of the beast not the alcohol in the beast. Islam comes after all else fails.
you are taught hate. Blacks don't exactly get a free pass on this hate thing. want me to cite case after case?
The strength of Emmitt's mother is astounding. Incredible lady.
She was the one who reported Emmett's father for abuse, and that's why he was forced to enlist in the military. While in Italy, he murdered white women and was hanged.
@@ManofLowMoralFiberYou talk as if you were there!
RIP.
@@ManofLowMoralFiber no
Strength my foot, black folks let that black woman down by not giving her justice for her boy while she was alive.
Mamie Till's articulate dignified grace has earned her my utmost respect. She should be honored with a medel of freedom . Her son will never be forgotten, he made a mistake that cost him his life ! But what resulted saved America.
He made no mistake the woman lied and told the truth on her death bed!!!
That woman lied like hell and even admitted that she lied.
@@Rieal007 Liar. Carolyn never lied. YOU are lying. Shame on you. Obviously you know LESS than nothing about the murder of Emmett Till.
@@candynicole4463 Liar. Carolyn never lied, nor did she "admit" lying. YOU are lying. Shame on you. Obviously you know LESS than nothing about the murder of Emmett Till.
RIP Emmett, am so sorry about what you went through. You had one heck of a mother!!
You make it sound as if he just experienced a tough time in his life.
@@hankramirez3256 You can't be serious?... he was a 14yr old that went through hell at the hands of a couple of "adult' white males that chose to take offence with him bc he whistled at a "white'woman''
That was the extent of his "offence"& for that he was tortured to death over a period of some hours..
He was unrecognisable to his mother who found his body in a river 4 days later. His murder received no justice even though it was witnessed, arrests were made & was prosecuted.
His body was exhumed some yrs later & his body then looked better than his body did at his funeral....it was a terrible thing
If you think I've trivialised what happened to him even a little bit then I apologise bc what happened to him was anything but trivial & I apologise...
She was the Example of a Strong Black Woman
Money
This is a very powerful piece of journalism. Rest in peace, Emmett.
Now look up the lynching of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
Amen🙏🏿
Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

He's in a better place
A beautiful thing to name a national park after Emmett Till and his awesome Mother Mamie! And The Emmett Till Lynching law. May they both Rest in Peace!!! We will never forget...
You right. 😊❤
Never Ever,For GetThis.Sad Sad Sad
Naming a park after him but refused to give justice!!! God saw and America will have to pay for it's EVIL!!! The bible says no evil will go unpunished. America can change everything if they want to, but it stands that they don't want to, SMH!!! So sad. 😢😢😢
And we still getting Lynched! We have to as a People stop holding our Slave Masters hand ! Stop Voting In their systems and keep the Laws of Our God! So he can deliver us!
It is beautiful however it hasn't stopped the lynchings of Black/ Brown People or poor whites who support Black/Brown People fighting for Civil Rights! AMERIKKKA has Blood on its hands! This coming from a person from a Mixed Race family whose family members been fight for AMERIKKKA since the Civil war If Not before!!!
Peace
Right now today, I still cry for Emmett
white male are still racist. 2024.. jealous selves
Oh yes he suffered
Me too 😢
He would’ve been 81 today
I always get emotional whenever I watch or read something about Emmitt Till and his mother Mamie Till Mobley. ❤
Emmett Till’s story and the story of James Byrd, Jr here in Texas (Jasper) will forever be etched in my brain. These two stories always bring me to tears.
Yes
Yes, I remember the story of James Bryd Jr in the 1990's of his death. He was drugged by a truck. It's was horrible
@@portiamatthews9654 I’m sure you didn’t mean drugged by a truck. 😉 Dragged. Very horrible and disturbing.
@@josephinemiller4780 👍🙂 I appreciate it.
Years and history could pass. I will never forget 😥
I am not an American, but every time I hear about the barbaric, gruesome inhumane murder of Emmit Till I feel so heart broken. This is so so so sad. How can human be so cruel to each other. It looks like nothing has changed in America to this day.
Being cruel to a child Is even worse
That's because back then white thought they can lie on a black person n get them killed but if it was the other way around it a be a different outcome
You can believe that🙏🏼🙏🏼
As brutal and inhumane as Emmett's murder was, he is far from the thousands of black men, women and children who were brutally murdered and we NEVER heard about it!! White people in Money, Mississippi and the surrounding area, joked that the Tallahatchie river was "full" of black bodies!! Emmett's mother was incredibly brave to demand that his body be brought back to Chicago and his casket be open!! The majority of black people who lost loved ones to lynchings and murders quietly buried their dead and didn't talk about it. Even though Emmett's case was nationally reported on, his family said they almost never talked about it. One of Emmett's cousins who was with him in bed when he was kidnapped, said that he didn't even tell his wife for like 8 years that he was cousins with Emmett. Willie Reed, the young man who heard Emmett's screaming said he didn't tell his wife about it for several years!! That was the only way these people could deal was by not talking about it. I'm sure all of them suffered from PTSD
Some things have changed for the good, but more can be done
His Mother was exceptional how she dealt with the pain of knowing how her baby died
Amen to that lady ❤
With the help with our Lord how have her the strength to proceed whatever needs to be done
His mother will never see justice
Many black mothers
Go through this these are ongoing events in America nothing has changed the only difference is they put on a suit instead of a cape..
@@rickeyricardomatthews2147 she never saw justice. Mamie passed away.
I saw the same strength in the eyes of Ahmaud Arbery's mother. She was determined to get justice for her son and she got it.
His memory is a blessing. Poor boy. Glad you aren’t hurting anymore.
Still a coverup to this very day!
Yes indeed sad Sickening Distraught Devasted hurt 😡 pained
And these pale faces still want to capitalize 🤦🏾♂️😢
Just like black Wall Street
Chaat aap !
@@butchwallace8114yes….. so very sad…
No matter how many times I hear or watch Emmett Teal’s story, I cry and my heart breaks! May He and his Mama RIP🕊️
Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hrikk it's a devastating story but that has nothing to do with what's going on here
It’s till
This whole revisionist history is a lie and dummies like you fell for it. Read the testimony. His own friends confirmed he was guilty.
Guilty of what whistling at a lady?
I will make sure that my children understand the significance of being black in this country. Mamie was a hero God thank you for Emmett Till 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen 🙏 Continue to Rest Easy Emmett Till and Parents Mrs.Mammie Louis Mobley Louis Till .... Continue to Fly 🕊️ High...🕊️🙏🥰🪖💔☮️
He tried to rape her dude. Read her book detailing what happened. She never admitted to lying.
@@JA-jx1hk Read TILL Novel/ Book
@@TeeBaby888 thats a book written by third parties. Karen Bryant wrote an autobiography and went into detail of what happened
@@JA-jx1hk I didn't mean to be Disrespectful If I did....But The Movie 🎥 is based on what happened.,..This is why It's remade over to Tell what really happened.Plus it's Three sides to each story
How could anyone hate THAT deeply?!?! I can't comprehend
We must never forget Emmet Tills name !!!
George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Arbry, it goes on and on. It's heartbreaking. 😊❤
NEVERRRRRRRR!
My hat goes off to,,Mr.Mos Wright & Mr. Willie Reed 4 having the courage to testify against these demons,,way back then,,when a person could be killed 4 much less!! It's sickening what they did to lil Emmett Till & truly hurts my heart ,,may he & his mother both REST IN PEACE❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗
Amen 🙏
All roads lead to England.
They are both in heaven now with the Lord, and those demon are in hell where they should be
People stopped going in the store after those guy got off free no surprise at all
Emmett till was a would be rapist. He tried to rape a married woman with a child working at her store. That’s unacceptable anywhere. Other black people witnessed this and told the woman’s husband, he then got a crew of 3 other white dudes and 3 black dudes to handle business. And they handled business.
One cannot fight the tears rolling down their face every time they watch the heart wrenching story of Emmett Till. It shows how humans are capable of inflicting the most heinous and barbaric acts against each other!!
Yes, any human
Well to some it sounds bad but I was happy to hear she passed away. That woman was the worst type there is
Against children at that.
Very well said 💯
Have you ever given a single thought to the woman louis till murdered and raped.??
This is the best and most complete retelling of the Emmett Till story
What a nightmare to have lived in that time in Mississippi.
Excellent documentary
Exactly and people think it's bad now. No it's worse back then. You already knew that the jury was going to say not guilty
As opposed to now when cases like the murder of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.
@@1990758Everyone on that jury trial has bloody hands 🙌
Yeah In Mississippi is the key word here. Cannot believe this was 1955. Just unreal
Still. The. Same
I can only imagine the blood curling screams and the pain this child went through.
I'm thinking the pieces of shit 💩 who did this are screaming in Hell 24/7.
Lord JESUS 🙏🏿
Willie Reed, the young man who testified that he heard Emmett's screams, had a nervous breakdown not long after the 1955 trial! He said that he could hear Emmett crying and screaming, "help me, Lord have mercy" and "mama".Some of Emmett's injuries were a broken leg, both of his wrists were broken, one of his ears was cut off, an eye was gouged out and he had numerous skull fractures. That poor baby died an agonizing death!!
🥺
@@rucianapollard4057 read the book on this. I cried. Lord keep us company for we will not know the company of us. It’s not about the hate, it has been all along the obvious, “skin color “. If religion or the belief that anyone of us could save a love one; not an issue for an organ donor or blood transfusion…We all need each other bc the end of our need for life saving measures. Everything from a donor is not color and religion; we all need each other no matter what. Thank you Wonderful Mother, Our Lord and Savior
The woman who lied on Emmitt and got him killed is still alive and walking around. Let that sink in.
Yeah! There's concrete proof already.
She is 88 and in a nursing home, possibly has dementia
That's crazy isn't it? And here I thought there was no statue of limitations on murder? This woman set up an innocent child to be slaughtered and massacred
I don't care how old she is, she should have been sitting in jail instead of getting to enjoy her life.
@@TexasTrosper Yes ,in the past, she should have been given a sentence (and her husband and brother in law should have been given sentences longer than her.)
But right now its unlikely she actually remembers anything and will die soon, so it is too late.
This pissed me off.Justice for Emmett Till. At 14 or 15 we were all childish and said stupid stuff , does not mean that we deserve to die.
For real hate those men
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HAVEUNG THAT MUCH HATE IN MY HEART FOR ANYONE GOD HELP US ALL WITH HATE LIKE THAT IN THIS WORLD
Excellent video💚💚💚 Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta...I heard alot of stories on racism, segregation and lynching growing up. I grew up on a plantation farm so I know what's it like...racism is still going on, while most just turn the other cheek. We need more documentaries like this...especially from the older generations who experienced and went through these types of situations.
Hey, I grew up in the Mississippi delta too!! I'm from Clarksdale, about 40 minutes from Money. My mother was 5 when Emmett Till was murdered and she said she remembers it because my grandparents talked about it at night when all of the kids went to bed.
My mom and her family lived in the delta of Mississippi. My grandfather owned and farmed his own land. I remember the stories my mom and family would tell.
After my dad passed, in 1967, my mom refused to take my brother and there back there. Wise decision on her part.
Emmett till was a would be rapist. He tried to rape a married woman with a child working at her store. That’s unacceptable anywhere. Other black people witnessed this and told the woman’s husband, he then got a crew of 3 other white dudes and 3 black dudes to handle business. And they handled business.
JESUS turn the other cheek and He was the "GREATEST WAR " whoever walk this earth . There's a time for everything ( ECCLESIASTES 3 : 1- 8 ) .
They should teach this in schools, I have lived in MA for so long and I just learned about this horrible story, and I am speechless. God Bless you and I am glad nothing happened to you.
He DID NOT WHISTLE. This CHILD had a SPEECH IMPEDIMENT. I read MRS. TILLS STORY. In her writings ,she would tell Emmett when he gets nervous or anxious, SLOW, down and take your time to speak. Take a deep breath and WHISTLE, getting his words together.
You said he did not whistle then turned around and said he whistled. He did indeed whistle but not at the lady but as you said Mrs Till did say he had speech issues (stutters) and she had told him to whistle as you have said, and take a deep breath and take his time to get his words together.
Come on Kim. I'm almost 70 and uh, no.
Your comment is so goofy. Get your head in the game or let it go please. And the all CAPS too? Come on lady!
Emmitt's cousins who were with him at the store said he did indeed whistle.
INTERESTING! NEVER KNEW HE USED WHISTLING AS A TYPE OF COPING MECHANISM FOR HIS SPEECH IMPEDIMENT, THANKS FOR THAT INFO.
Emmett Till story will forever be heartbreaking. Justice wasn't served in this life for Emmett. But we all know in the next life it is , because HOW do you explain to God why you MURDERED his child , and in the manor that they did? They were extremely evil & hateful humans , period. Forever and ever RIP Emmett Till 🕊️
That evil British woman is still alive.
Yep thats what the kkk doesn’t and doesn’t give a damn all on a word of a white female, no evidence.
Rest in Peace Mr Till
Jim crow South and they didn't care
No, "god" needs to explain to us why he let this happen...
I have always thought highly of Mammi Till Mobley! The courage and strength she had to have is extraordinary!
Excellent documentary!!!
Hands up to the team 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The team got paid to share a black story. Trust NONE of them. I bet ms Till didn’t receive a dime. Fuck um all.
They made sure that the so called change only included white ppl nobody black stay woke. His memory AINT kept alive. It’s tarnished and white ppl are still benefiting from it 😤🤬😢😢😢😢😢
Being a single parent. My ❤ goes out to you. Your only child taken away from you. And for all the other family's that had to go through this.
I hope God was with him and there were angels was with him when those monsters beat him to death God may his soul rest in peace
AMEN LORD JESUS 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
GOD BLESS🙏🏿
The 1 question i have is if they were with him why did this happen? I have always been sickened by this 😪
The perpetrators & the woman who started this will be in hell with the rest of those southern Christians who continue to perpetrate such bigotry.
Hell will be their final home.
The fact that it took until 2022 to get law passed … is what we really need to keep in mind as well. Our fight is not over.
Emmett's mother is such a courageous lady. I cried. Continued prayers for Emmett and his family

Myself,ass a white woman am so disgusted by Emmett Tills murder and absolutely every other Black person that had to suffer or. Die due to BIGOTRY,Hate, Ignorance of. Whites, just appalled,people as bad as Hitler, God dam White Supremacists,who in the hell do they think they are,they are repulsive
@rocketman-qb9so For real though thanks for being strong enough to say that. 😂
I don't want wan't any races help though. They have done enough.
@rocketman-qb9so Ever other race besides my own of course. It's not rocket science.
@rocketman-qb9so Oh it's you. Yeah they did enough "Trying to help us" They have done not a single thing to put us in a good condition. They don't care, only one who can help us out this mess is us. 🦁💎
Great documentary!!!!!! Rip 🙏🏾🙏🏾to Emmett and his mom
This was devastating and absolutely beautiful at the same time. This is such a tough story to tell - BUT they honored Emmet and Mamie. One of the best documentaries of the Till family that I’ve seen.
I used to watch 60 minutes with my grandma . I remember seeing the 60 min special on Emmett Till as a child and it changed my paradigm . 😢
I have viewed many documentaries on this subject. This is, by far the most comprehensive. It was tightly produced and precise. Thank you!
To see him in the funeral home on their embalming table & to see him in the casket, then seeing those photos of him, to see what they did to that young man just makes my heart break & I can't believe how ppl can be so mean, evil, & cruel to other ppl just blows my mind & makes my heart ache so deeply & then I'm filled w/anger & rage that those guys were acquitted as well as that no good filthy woman who caused all this in the first place! I pray Emmitt Till & his mother; Mamie Till are now reunited & RIP.
My thoughts exactly!! Especially that 😡 woman, who NEVER took accountability for Emmitts MURDER!!!😢
Learn the truth lol.
Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.
@@kayfitzgerald309what woman, and how was she responsible? Emmett had some responsibility in what happened also, along with his father who was also a criminal. Was any of that in this video or the movie?
@@Dartanian1972-x7wWhats wrong with u??? 😳 A CHILD should be responsible for being tortured and murdered??! What woman, u say too!? Caroline Bryant who LIED about that this little boy had harrassed/touched her. Have u watched this clip atall???!! U put the blame on a child for being treated so barbaric. And... what had the boys father to do with this?? He was dead since many years. You should be ashamed of yourself! 😡
Emmett Till did not die in vain. Since this heinous crime was committed four months before Rosa Parks' act of defiance, Till's murder may be considered the first event that galvanized the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a tragedy to get people to rise up and demand that things change.
Actually you’re right. I heard that when Rosa Parks heard what happened to Emmet, that motivated her to sit in the bus.. so I’m thinking it was like the last straw. If it wasn’t for this tragic event who knows if she would have been motivated to do so.
@@bluewhale2600 I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for sharing. And while I agree that what Ms. Parks did was an act of courage, it was not the first act that inspired the Civil Rights Movement as it has sometimes been called. I'm glad to see that the Emmitt Till tragedy has finally gotten the attention it so richly deserves.
I'm so sick of full catastrophe having to be the catalyst. 😊❤
I beg to differ. Because this is still going on today and nothing has really changed.
@@summertimejay3157 I will respectfully disagree. A lot has changed. We now have civil rights laws against any kind of racial discrimination. Yes racism still exists but American society is now for the most part fully desegregated. Let's not forget that just 16 years ago, we elected our first African-American president. Yes there have been incidents where police shoot and sometimes kill young black men and those are indeed tragedies but I attended an integrated school where many of my teachers were African-Americans and other minorities and I now work at a company where minorities of all types are my supervisors and trainers so no, we are by no means perfect but not to acknowledge the progress we have made since the 1950s would be disingenuous. Hope you and yours have a joyous Holiday season!
R.I.P Emmett Till, gone but NEVER forgotten ❤
Who ?
I AM FROM KENTUCKY THIS IS WHERE THE WOMEN LIVES ITS PUBLIC INFO SHE LIVES IN BOWLING GREEN KY PEOPLE PROTEST AT HE DOOR ALL THE TIME AND STILL THEY HAVENT BROUGHT HER TO JUSTICE IT IS TRULY A SICC WORLD WE LIVE IN!!!!!
She said last year that she was dying. Can't believe a word ..what is told from a Criminal that Descends from the United Kingdom

@@coldwar45 no need to apologize when she was telling the truth. That’s why she lived free. Deal with it
This was pure evil , what they done to this child ! There was not any accountability, responsibility for Emmett murder! She lied , Emmett did not whistle at her ! She need to be held responsible, accountable for his murder! Justice was never served for Emmett Till murder! !

Those photos of Emmett were so disturbing to see. But I understand his mother’s insistence that he be seen that way.
@@olabegEmmett has some responsibility in this also, he was a criminal like his father but they don’t show that in any of these videos. Gotta make whitey look evil at all times
Lady who accused this poor child has FINALLY died, she will have to pay for her sins to her maker... Good riddance
This story is so sad, but very inspiring at the same time a bitter sweet story.. 😢 God bless his Mother for having such a courages heart to not only speak for her child but also fought til her last day Long live Emmett Til🙏
Mamie…..YOURE THE HERO!
very very well put together documentary. a different look into this tragic case for history buffs like myself
THANK YOU Emmett, and mother and all who stood by this story and exposed it. I am so glad that movie, "TILL" was made. I felt so many had no clue to who he and his mother were!
I can only hope to have the strength of Emmitt's mother. It takes undeniable courage to stand on a decision involving your child while dealing with the loss of him.. Bless the spirits of them both, Lord.
Obviously you know nothing about this case. You don't even know how to spell his name correctly.
Democrats founded the KKK, two Democrats murdered Emmett Till, and you support them.
It’s EMMETT , la” quesha, get it right.
Emmett’s story breaks my heart into. Only a monster could hurt and kill a child much less in this manner. My heart broke for his poor mama as a mother myself. My biggest fear is someone hurting one of my children. Things haven’t gotten much better in Mississippi, especially in more rural areas where things are often covered up. I live in rural south Mississippi . Brookhaven ms. Im just now hearing about Lamar Smith for the first time at 49 😢.
Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.
That’s so sad to hear. Do you have any plans of moving out of there for the safety of your children?
Emmitt Till's name lives forever in the bright light of love. ❤
The people who killed him, their property is fallen and in Ruins with no signs of life.
💪🏽
The men who murdered Emmett, both died as paupers and with cancer. If mankind won't bring justice, then nature will!

Congratulations to journalist Marion Brooks and NBC Chicago for such thorough and accurate reportage. Emmet Till and his mother Mamie will always stay in my mind. Thank you.
Maime Till is one of the most consequential figures in American history. It’s one thing to see your son brutalized beyond all recognition, to know he was tortured and in pain, but to then have the presence of mind to show the world, forcing America to face its darkest heart, is a bravery that few of us will ever know. Monumental courage. God bless her and her beautiful boy Emmett. Never forget.
You should "never forget" how to spell Mamie's name.
And never forget the two Democrats who savagely murdered her fatherless son.
Poor Emmit. He seemed to be a nice kid. I hope he is at peace and watching over all of us as an angel.
I'm told that Carolyn lives somewhere in KY
He was sent to live with his cousins because he'd been assaulting women while living with his mother.
My grandfather born in 1900 in a farm house in Idaho traveled to Louisiana to visit his brother in the 1930's. It was the first time he traveled outside his state, let alone his hometown. Once he got into the South he said things changed. Blacks sat at the back of the bus, whites in the front. He never heard of segregation. He had never seen a black person in his life until he got into the Southern region of the United States. When they got into Louisiana the bus picked up new passengers, and let old ones off at the one of many bus stops in towns and cities back then. An older black men got onto the bus, but there were no empty available seats. My grandpa had a seat all to himself, so he stood up and offered the black man a seat, and a white man behind him stood up, tapped him on the shoulder, and said, "We don't do that down here."
Thats so dang sad .bless your grandfather for being so nice though.some people are just pure evil .thank god your grandfather wasnt.
Those who supported that behavior are from The United Kingdom.
@@gigigiseleworld many here supported that behaviour and still do- Some cringe At The thought Of Segregation - Black and White people alike - it’s not just whites who do NOT want to mix - if this is the case I say SO BENIT - make it
So - but NEVER, ever kill and maim another human being even if they are not white -
What an absolute tragedy
You’ve got an amazing grandfather. I’m glad he was so kind to the black man during those evil events.
@@gigigiseleworld No, Africa. We’re all from Africa. We’re all one people.
I think all young people should know about Emmett Till ...no matter what the color of their skin is
Absolutely
I tried looking for books of him in school, but they're just poetry. I want facts!
I’m so proud so say that my cousin won an Emmy for this production. It’s never too late to tell all parts of a story!!!!
This documentary was HEAVY ❤. Emmett Till’s story leaves me breathless every time I hear it
Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.
What’s so crazy is that the pics we see now of Emmett isn’t even how he looked when she first went into the box. It was ALOT worse which is so sad. Mamie till said in interviews that His face and head were in two separate pieces, all his teeth gone with the exception of only 2 of them. His ears ripped off. Just so vile. The pics we see now are after the work they did on his face
You are right. She talks about how his tounge was protruding from his mouth and resting on his chin.
Absolutely disgusting! Those men (what an insult to even call them that) projected their vile and evilness onto Emmett. That poor kid.
He looks typical for a deceased person who has been in water for a while, go online and look.
Now go look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.

It's been like that since slavery and before.
Now add media fear propaganda....
@@senseibxnji I agree they’re other things to dwell on.
So sad. May God bless his soul and give him rest.
I watched the movie the other night. I cried for Emmett what he went through is something none of us can imagine!!!! I was shocked how this story unfold let alone the lady from the store LIED in court and they ALL got away with it. And no one went after them for what they did to the Emmett. It is so sad to learn how many people were treated so badly back in those days. All we can do now is send PEACE and LOVE to Emmett and to his beautiful brave mum.
@Dartagnan1972 from a BBC article: "During the trial against her husband and his half-brother, Donham took the stand and testified that Till had grabbed her hand and propositioned her. In a 2008 interview with a Yale historian, she recanted the claim, reportedly saying: "That part's not true." I can't include the link because they don't allow that in comments, but if you google her name, Carolyn Brant, you will see reference to her recanting parts of her testimony from multiple sources.
@Dartagnan1972regardless as to whether she lied or not they still murdered a child for this are you serious???
Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.
imagine living in a world where you can brutally murder someone because they whistled at a woman and you KNOW you will get off
All roads lead to England
It's called The White rascist world it's still happening 2023
Sheila Harris, the white racist world will end one day and that’s when the last human being dies.
@@sheilaharris787 Mostly by black males killing other black males.
So why do people think things are worse now. No things were worse back then.
There has been no justice in this case . All these years they allowed that woman to live her life as well as the others who got away with this horrific crime. This is an outrage!!!! They murdered an innocent child.
For whistling
This is the United States'of America need I say more...
Absolutely
Rest to sure they had many nightmares your demons were taught you for the rest of their lives
Don’t worry! These horrible people may have not served justice for what they did to Emmett here on Earth. But, they got served when they stood before God. Murdering a child in the way Emmett was murdered isn’t something God overlooks. No way! The woman who lied about Emmett didn’t escape judgement either. I believe these three cretins are burning in hell and rightfully so. Emmett was tortured most likely for hours. I don’t think he was dead when they threw him into the river. It’s one of the reasoned they tied a fan to his neck. They didn’t want him to scream or be seen. That, and weighing him down would mean he wouldn’t be found. These people are not anywhere near Emmett in Heaven.
There is justice on the Other Side waiting for them all ... including and especially her. May God have mercy on all their souls. They're gonna need it.
Thank you for revisiting this story.
May God forever wrap his arms around the Till family and anyone who got injustice
His mum.....what a trooper!!!!
Sooo beautiful too
What a woman ❤
Thank you for this documentary.
Thanks for this video. We shall never forget. The ark of the moral universe might be long; but it still bends toward justice. Vengeance belongs to the Most High. He will repay.
That family gonna have a curse placed for generations to come
What curse?!😂
That white woman is not only protected by the system set up for her, she is protected by bm who will never rise up against the white man and his woman!
She's good.
Yes
Let’s hope so. May they never know peace
I feel the same way,I'm tired of other races disrespecting us,that's why we should have stayed segregated!!@@loulou7963
All of these demons.
SMH my heart aches I recently begin teaching my daughter who is 5 about him. My son is 10 and when He first learned about this story he was about 7 or 8 and he was so down for a few days. One thing is for certain this wicked lady will reap what she has sown. The nerve of her thinking he was actually whistling at her. She was 26 but I’m sorry she looked 40 🫤
🌑⚫🖤🤎💛🙏🌷🥀
😂😂😂
That's so good. I taught my kids this story at the ages almost the same 5 and 8, this story was why my Mother and her siblings were put on a train out of Mississippi and brought to Oklahoma, so I have always been interested to keep learning more and more about it myself.
Did you teach them about the White couple raped and tortured to death by a group of black people in Knoxville?
Look up the case of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian.
Emmett Till will be back. It will be a perfect world.
No violence no sickness no death.
Wonderful piece of work, Justice will be served one day 🙏👏, 👍❤️. Pura Vida
i cant imagine what that kid went through. the women who lied about emmet knew he had a speech impediment and lied. and she is walking around with a kid and a husband i would turn her in myself if she was my mom or my wife idc how much i love her that is so wrong. she deserves nothing
You are the one who is a liar.
In 2020 fbi reopened the case and said there is nothing to charge her with
She has lived a quiet life hurting nobody
She is going to hell no doubt
@@shellygreen2238 then you would be just as bad as them. Vengeance is Mine sayeth the Lord!
Incorrect. She did Not know about Emmett's speech impairment.
You can't be serious about "turning her in if she were your wife"! It was HER husband who murdered Emmett!
@pinkturtle2016 Mrs. Bryant was not the one who told him, it was her FRIEND that told him, as she was watching from the back room. Ultimately, it does not matter what woman said what to any man, because Neither of them were with the two men who CHOSE to beat Emmett to death. You must remember this took place in the rural South in the '50's, women had to OBEY their husbands.
That was a good documentary! I’ve watched a lot of documentaries over the last 30 years and all the movies. I assumed I couldn’t learn anything I already didn’t know but I definitely was wrong. I just sent this to my kids and nephews for them to watch.
I was pleased that this documentary pointed out that in the Look Magazine article the two killers didn't describe the scene and didn't mention the other people who were there in the barn. I wish they had also reported that these villains also made Till look cocky about his white conquests at the beginning of their beating of him. They probably lied through their teeth with their quotes of what Till said and that sadly remains on the record. I wish that dubious testimony had been called out in the same way they did Timothy Tyson's lie that Carolyn Bryant confessed to him in the book "The Blood of Emmett Till."
Yes, I learned about the fact that it took three votes for the jury to vote to acquit. I had thought they immediately voted to acquit.
I dislike when they never hold the people accountable for actions they commit but give him her a day. A moment of time
Horrible it's truly heartbreaking how can humans treat other human beings like this ?
An truly ugly ugly day in America history
What a beautiful documentary ! It was well put together. Thank you for breaking everything down. Have a wonderful, blessed day!🤗
A gross miscarriage of justice, heartbreaking, justice department is no better today
Emmett Till was such a handsome boy. He did not deserve what happened to him. I have seen so many documentaries on him and some say he whistled and some say he didn't. It doesnt matter which one is the truth because the fact that two grown men (regardless of the situation) came and took a child in the middle of the night to torture, beat and kill this young man is just pure evil. His mother was so brave to want an opened casket. Just the thought of Carolyn Bryant just living her long good life while Emmetts family live with pain and hurt of losing their loved one.
That s*** causes mental illness because the more I think about that I have A big 11 year old girl she has a big body cute face my sweet baby And she is so friendly I teach her not to knock on any doors We live in a trailer park and her and a white girl are good friends I think to myself back in the day They would have not been able to be friends but I still teach her there are some people alive today that would try to hurt her for the color of her skin And I know in my heart If that was to ever happen I would go to prison for the rest of my life if I don't get off with insanity I would take Justice in my own hands
He eyes were beautiful bright hazel and whitest teeth. So true
Handsome???
A long life, but a good life? Not so sure about that. Bryant's Grocery and Meat Market went out of business when locals boycotted the store. And then because she obviously lied, Carolyn received hate and was mailed death threats up to her death, to the point that her daughter staunchly defended and tried to protect her. She basically had to cower in fear for the rest of her life, and honestly I think that's a fitting punishment in and of itself for her lies: never knowing if one day she'd walk out her door and be met with a gun or knife from the black community. Also, that dollop of being diagnosed with cancer on top which led to her death. I won't deny the unfairness of it though; she at least got to live, while Emmett didn't.
I'm told they we're trying to do a movie about Carolyn Bryant
This breaks my heart. They have no reason to hate us so much yet try and do everything our culture does. They're the heathens spoken of in the Bible. May The Most High God show no mercy on what they did to this young man and other men, women, and children until this day.
Sorry, that's not the way God works.
It’s a spiritual perpetual hate The most high is gonna have a field day with them and YES YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT THEY ARE THE HEATHENS THAT THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF ❗️❗️❗️💯💯💯💯
@@deirdrepasko9965 the devil is a liar u got another thing coming if it ain’t that’s the honest to God truth she ain’t lyin read the Bible and find out
@@deirdrepasko9965 you're entitled to your own understanding. Peace and Blessings
@@candicerussell3685 Exactly
His momma is the strongest woman I've ever heard of. And smart as anything. Even with all that she was dealing with, the thought to make such a bold, groundshaking choice. Phenomenal. 😊❤
Love is light, and hate is heavy. I don't understand how these people hate someone that they don't even know. Justice will be served for Emmett on the sides . God doesn't like hatred.
So sad, so heartbreaking 😥. That lady is paying for her lies about Emmett. She showed no remorse for anything about what happened.
I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma where they are finally finding some remains of the Tulsa Race Massacre. So sad how one could do so much harm and murder to an individual that didn't do anything wrong.
I pray for all of the lives that endured so much pain. God Bless you for bringing this to TH-cam, let's spread it. Because it happened.
I find it interesting how she, her ex husband and his brother all died of cancer. Karma.
As a nurse for more than 30 years, it amazes me how some caregivers get stuck in the information quagmire. This video was so informative...thank you truly. It goes to prove we have so much more to discover, or simply realize. Mental health is real. Mental health is children is a reality. We do not need to hide behind labels. We need to simply respect people as they are and not impose limitations based on ignorance.
I watched this movie and was prompted to search on it and came upon this video here. This truly came in depth to the story. I honor the strength this mother had endured but the movement that came after it is historically amazing.
The series is better
But they want us to "get over it"... Emmitt was one of thousands that are still untold smh
Who
This happened in 1955. When were you born?
After so many years they finally did a movie called TILL about Emmet and he didn't die in vain and GOD was with Emmett Till and he is with his family in heaven. FLY HIGH Sweet EMMETT!
In loving memory of emmett till. His name remembered forevermore! Gods justice shall be done amen!❤❤❤
And remember the two Democrats who savagely murdered him.
I am literally crying the whole time looking and listening to this video 😢😢😢 RIP Emmett and his lovely mum ❤
What a woman Mamie Till was. Just incredible. Her bravery and her strength. This story just absolutely breaks my heart. May they never have known one moments peace. That jury was an absolute disgrace to humanity 😢
This is horrible. Good documentary. I can't imagine what he went through in that barn. Just think of how many more boys like him went through that we don't know about. That evil lady is still alive.
YOU' RE 1000%!!! CORRECT! IF THEY DRAIN THE RIVER! THEY WOULD FIND 1000!!!!!! OF BLACK HUMAN!! BEINGS!!
@DazeDewDrop she lived long enough to be tormented by the active story that was never let go.
@MONTIQUEDOLLARD lol no they wouldn't.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hr🤏
To a commenter from an English country. Coming from a European English country, it's unempathely to say we must let this go because the woman who caused Emmett Till's death is old now. But this happened to Aboriginal African Americans then and still is happening now. Can you say Chattel Slavery and Jim Crow Laws?
I'm watching the movie now; it looks like she was worried from the very beginning.
Poor baby. Bless his soul.👏🏿👏🏿❣️
I often call his name. A horrific injustice against a child. My heart is with his Mom and Dad.
That was an outstanding documentary. I always admired Mamie and her strength and courage.
It's too bad that Carolyn Bryant never had to answer on this earth for what she did, but she does now in the next life. She died on April 25th at the age of 88.
What crime are you accusing Carolyn of?
@@gurnblanston3210 lying on the witness stand is perjury.
Man And The Cold Thing Is That Lady Is Still Alive
I am glad she is still alive because she had to live in seclusion for this crime her whole life.She lived a fate worse than death by being scared of being found out @ any time.
@@leroyjrpugh2040 : SO TRUE. YOU STILL HAVE PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY SHE DID AND DO NOW IN 2023. THANK YOU MR. PUGH FOR YOUR COMMENT.
God gives people Every chance to repent.
Let u know that this happen not to long ago , if she is still alive
@@deirdrepasko9965 she still gonna endure that spiritual ass whooping for bearing false witness 🤷🏽♀️ she’s the devil the Bible speaks of there is no repentance for Edomites
I believe i watch this about 500 hundred times already and still watching this documentary is extremely good get something new everytime..wish this never happened but it did Emmett,his mother and family are strong people 💙 ❤ he didnt die in vain
