The FBI is exhuming the body of Emmett Till, the 14 year old black Chicagoan whose killing 50 years agin in the segregated South helped fuel the civil rights movement, to determine the cause of his death.
This comes one year after federal prosecutors and the authorities in Mississippi reopened the investigation, prompted in part by two documentary films about the crime.
"I truly believe there's foresensic evidence that could possibly link others who were involved", said Keith Beauchamp, 33 of NYC, one of the two filmakers whose documentaries revived interest in the case.
Two white men who were acquited in the case by an all white jury and later confessed to the crime in a magazine interview, are both dead now. But Mr. Beauchamp said that as many as 10 other people, 5 of whom are still alive, might have taken part in the killing and could still be prosecuted.
Emmett, who was raised in CHicago, was kidnapped, beaten, shot to death and dropped in the Tallahatchie River in 1955, reportedly after he whislted at a white woman in Money, Miss, while visiting relatives.

astonamous,

Even if this makes the bastards that did this start to fear that they could pay for what they did a lifetime ago it is worth it. I mean, it's not like he can rest in peace until each of them is rotting in the pit of hell.

JTF,
Yeah the motherfucker De La Beckwirth who killed Civil Rights leader Medgar Evers lived right in my neck of the woods and got to die a damn hero to some around herehttp://www.liesexposed.net/nfp/issue0103/byron.htm - I say get them motherfuckers and beat they monkey ass!!!! No crime such as this should go unpunisihed!!!Let them rot in prison on their way to burning in hell!!!!'

bingolong,
What probably pisses me off more than anything else is that this documentary uncovered the fact that BLACK MEN helped in Till's abduction. Can you imagine? Grown ass, knuckle draggin' sell-out negroes helped those crakers kill that boy. By the way, one of those black men is still alive. He denies it. What an evil bitch.

bumperhead,news like this makes people feel uncomforatable, and it's good to make people feel uncomforatable and make them think about the past, racisism may be more polite now adays, disguised with saying all the right politicaly correct things, but it's alive and kicking

Murphdogg,
Damn straight. I think Dr. King was right. It all comes down to our drum major instinct. We feel the need to put someone else down in order to lift ourselves up.

Damn......the same way we did Kunta...we can be our own worst enemy.....

bingolong,

My mom always told me that I was my own worst enemy when shit would go south on me, and she was right. I could almost always trace the cause of my problems right back to none other than me.

bumperhead, that was one funny line up there with the "Grown ass..." bit.
