The Murder of Emmett Till

1.) Keith Beauchamp and Stanley Nelson helped with the re-opening of the Emmett Till case because they re-opened peoples eyes about the forgotten murder and with Stanley Nelsons award winning film about Emmett Tills murder and Keith Beauchamp’s unfinished documentary of the murder they showed people and police authorities of new information of the murder that has not been seen before, at least ten new people were suspects instead of the original two.

2.) The controversial decision Emmett Till’s mother made during his funeral was for his casket to open for all of the thousands of African Americans to see, how bad his body was brutally beat and disfigured and unreconizable his body was after a group of white men mirdered him after Emmett whistled at a white women. This decision showed African Americans and whites in the north how bad the south was and how they were treating African Americans which eventually lead up to the spark of the civil rights movement.

3.) Mrs. Mobley told Mr. Beauchamp that he is “about to grab a rattlesnake by the tail”. He grew close to Mrs. Mobley and a cousin of Emmetts that was staying with him before he was abducted and brutally murdered.
