1:04Now PlayingThe Senate passed a bill to award the Congressional Gold Medal posthumously to Emmett Till and his mother.
As a 14-year-old Black boy visiting Mississippi in 1955, Till was abducted and brutally murdered after a witness claimed he whistled at a white woman in a grocery store. Despite eyewitness testimony, the two white men who killed him walked free.
But Till’s mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, demanded an open casket funeral so the world could see what had been done to her son. After his death, she continued to fight for justice in his memory.
All this and more on “Prime.”
