Summary:
"Offers the first truly comprehensive account of the 1955
murder
and its aftermath. It tells the story of
Emmett
Till
, the fourteen-year-old African American boy from Chicago brutally lynched for a harmless flirtation at a country store in the Mississippi Delta. His death and the acquittal of his killers by an all-white jury set off a firestorm of protests that reverberated all over the
world
and spurred on the
civil
rights
movement
. Like no other event in modern history, the death of
Emmett
Till
provoked people all over the United States to seek social change"--Inside cover.
