In 1955, a fourteen-year-old black boy named Emmett Till, who had come down from Chicago to visit relatives in Mississippi, was murdered by a group of white men. He had gone into a small country store a few days earlier and made flirtatious remarks to a white woman, twenty-one-year-old Carolyn Bryant; Bryant's husband and brother-in-law were two of Till's attackers. They were never convicted, but Till's lynching became one of the most notorious hate crimes in American history. It set off a wave of protests across the country, helped the NAACP gain thousands of members, and inspired famous activists like Rosa Parks to stand up and fight for equal rights for the first time. Part detective story, part political history, Timothy Tyson's The Blood of Emmett Till revises the history of the Till case, not only changing the specifics that we thought we knew, but showing how the murder ignited the modern civil rights movement. Tyson uses a wide range of new sources, including the only interview ever given by Carolyn Bryant; the transcript of the murder trial, missing since 1955 and only recovered in 2005; and a recent FBI report on the case. In a time where discussions of race are once again coming to the fore, The Blood of Emmett Till redefines a crucial moment in civil rights history. -- Publisher description 000771920 60010 $$aTill, Emmett,$$d1941-1955. 000771920 650_0 $$aLynching$$zMississippi$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000771920 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xCrimes against$$zMississippi. 000771920 650_0 $$aRacism$$zMississippi$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000771920 650_0 $$aTrials (Murder)$$zMississippi$$zSumner. 000771920 650_0 $$aHate crimes$$zMississippi. 000771920 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRace relations$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000771920 651_0 $$aMississippi$$xRace relations. 000771920 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aTyson, Timothy B.$$tBlood of Emmett Till.$$dNew York : Simon & Schuster, [2017]$$z9781476714868$$w(DLC) 2016023098$$w(OCoLC)949923051 000771920 85200 $$bgen$$hHV6465.M7$$iT97$$i2017 000771920 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:771920$$pGLOBAL_SET 000771920 980__ $$aBIB 000771920 980__ $$aBOOK
