| The Murder of Emmett Till |
In recent years, there has been a growing demand to re-investigate some of the racial killings in the south from the
1950s and '60s. One incident now receiving some attention is the case of Emmett Till, a fourteen-year-old black
boy from Chicago, who was visiting family in Money, Mississippi, when he was beaten to death in August 1955.
This documentary recounts the events that led to the fatal beating and contains interviews with one of the men
acquitted of the murder, Roy Bryant. Produced by Plater Robinson and Loretta Williams.
