This is a terrible story but I always thought it was a massive hoax, have any of you seen pictures of the victim, I'm no Dr but looks so fake
Shame on those cowardly white people.
Sad
Let's get this right new memorial for the murdered Emmett Till to be bulletproof, only in America but its not home to any white racist just ask the President.
Just set up cameras and prosecute accordingly.
ohiojayne It is a shame that it has to be made bullet proof. I don't know anyone who shoots up civil war monuments. Sad commentary on America. Black child cannot even rest in peace. A sin (to 'religious people') & a shame on all.
White people are so afraid of a long-murdered Black teenager that they have to make a memorial sign bulletproof.
Just spent a day in workshop with pswordwoman Her powerful poem on the Emmett Till story merits widespread reading. It's in her new collection 'Incendiary Art' BloodaxeBooks
What kind of society has to have a bullet proof memorial to a murdered teen?
What a horrible headline and story. Terrible on so many levels
This is an incredibly sad headline.
