For those who never heard of Emmett Till, his story was, according to some, the catalyst for the civil rights movement. He was lynched at the age of 14, in Mississippi (1955) because he whistled at a woman who happened to be white....Actually lynched is not really accurate once you see the movie which is a documentary actually.

I'll let you do the research for some more graphics. But the thing is: it took all the determination, passion, merely a life dedication of one man for me to be able to know about this story.
