The 14-year-old Black boy was visiting from Chicago when he was kidnapped, tortured and killed in Mississippi in the summer of 1955 by two white men. A white woman, Carolyn Bryant Donham, accused Till of whistling at her and making sexually suggestive comments.
The gruesome murder and the disturbing photograph of Till’s battered body in a casket helped to spark the civil rights movement.
Jerry Mitchell, investigative reporter and founder of the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting, joins Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to discuss this case.
