In 1955, Emmett Till, a 14-year-old boy from Chicago, was dragged from his uncle’s cabin in Money, Mississippi and beaten, shot, and dumped in the Tallahatchie River by two men who accused him of whistling at a white woman in this store. Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam were acquitted by an all white jury in 1955, but later confessed to LOOK Magazine. Both men have died, but the Justice Department reopened the case in 2004 to investigate if anyone else was involved.
