A review by pamiverson
The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B. Tyson

4.0

A look at the lynching of a 14-year-old from Chicago in a rural Mississippi community in 1955 -- why his death became such a turning point in race relations in this country. Pulls information from reports at the time and reflections by key people later. His mother and two Black witnesses willing to testify were heroes in the story.
