EMMET TILL

FLIGHT 33

The Emmet Till story was a sad story about racism once again. Emmet Till was 14 from Chicago was in a store in Mississippi were he saw a beautiful white girl. At that time for a mixed couple was rare and also frowned upon. Once the 14-year-old Emmet Till saw the beautiful white women he whistled at her. So the women told her husband and the husband got is brother to search and kill Emmet. Once they found Emmet the decapitated, destructed, and terminated him. He died a painful death. He was shot twice in the head, put threw a cotton gin and was dragged to the river in which he was found. One person was a witness to this, which was his “uncle mosses”. He was willing to testify against the white men. But it wouldn’t matter because the white men were proven not guilty. This relate to Tom Robinson’s case in To Kill A Mocking Bird. The Emmet Till and Tom Robison because in both, most people judged the victims unfair. In both cases they were judged by there skin color. In To Kill A Mocking Bird Tom was also fell victim to racsim he was accused of having relations with a white girl just like Emmet. The only differents was that in the book Tom is accused with rape. Another key event that was unfairly tried was the Rosa Parks case. This case was simular to Tom's and  Emmet's case because the odds were stacked up against the "black man". In the video about Emmet, Emmet's mother said when she lost "I didn't expect to win". That hit me beacuse if it was reversed, meaning to black men terminatng a 14 year old white boy, its a wrap lol. They got wheels for life.
