Till was just 14 years old in 1955 when he was brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman inside her family’s grocery store. Today, federal anti-lynching laws still don’t exist.

It wasn't even race pushed
How arrogant and ignorant can you get?
“…through the ‘60s”? The last reported lynching – before George Floyd – occurred in Mobile, Alabama in 1981. The victim was Michael Donald. Please get your facts straight. Thank you.
Emmitt's case is an example of what true racism is. He was an innocent. A young teen who committed no crimes.
I read the full extent of what was done to him. It was disturbingly brutal and his attackers were the husband and the brother of the woman who claimed Emmitt flirted with her. They were found innocent in court when they were in reality, beyond guilty as sin.
It is a shame people shot bullet holes in the Emmitt Till sign.
Big difference!! Emmit was a innocent little kid. GF was a criminal Ex con and addict, big difference no comparison
George was trash not held accountable in the courts, but karma got his ass. Now being held accountable in hell. As it should be!
May they rest in peace ❤️🙏🏾
So back then they would lynch people by making them take drugs until their bodies couldn't take it.
I’m so happy they made justice for Emmett till and George Floyd 😭😭😭😊😊😊🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 So beautiful Rip you two 😭😭😭😭😭😇😇
History is repeated
A child vs a druged up adult committing a crime is not the same
Federal anti lynching laws do not exisit, I said to NV……
Seeeeeeeeeeee?
I hate that racism is still an issue and will continue to be an issue…. Emmetts story shatters my heart , he didn’t deserve to die the way he did , those monsters needed to be beat the same way but worse and the lady as well , Emmett s mom is the hero in all of this , I can’t begin to imagine the pain she felt ( and the pain his entire family felt) , and yet through her grief and anger she was able to stand up with courage and strength beyond words and fight , I hope and wish he is with his mom in heaven and they feel the love and support of so many who stand behind them and there entire family and will always stand behind them ❤️
I don’t see how Emmett Till and George Floyd’s deaths are similar at all. Emmett was a boy that had just turned 14. He had never done anything wrong. Floyd was no angel but didn’t deserve to die.
George Floyd was nothing more than a criminal crackhead drug-dealing piece of s***.
Some of those lynchings shown were in the north

The most high gonna kill them all I hate all them the Lady needs killed
Life's were taken and that's what matters, not their color
Why do we need to hate and kill each other?! Are we not all brothers and sisters in Christ?! I’m a White Russian woman, I’m not raciest against my fellow human beings. Hate is made and taught by generations of evil people.
And America wonders why it burns,1955?2020? Aint a gatdamn thing has changed and all this will be remembered as American history😒🙄
Emmett Till and George Floyd WE CANT BREATH
Carolyn Bryant isn’t dead. She’s still alive and needs to be in jail.
We need a huge asteroid and everyone will live in peace.
I remember learning about Emmett
'Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? '
Malachi 2:10

The news is talking about Emmett Till again.
Maybe because it's an election year?
I don't know.
But I did notice something.
Something important.
Have you realized there are no AUTOPSY photos of Emmett Till?
Only photos of his body at the funeral.
Maybe the mortician was paid to distort his face?
I'm not saying Emmett wasn't lynched. Of course he was. It was cold-blooded murder.
But the graphic photos of Emmett's swollen and disfigured face only appear in a public viewing of his funeral.
His death is known as the spark that launched the Civil Rights Movement.
Was this "super-elevated" to shock and horrify the public?
Was it staged to increase the racial divide?
Where are the AUTOPSY PHOTOS?
Just sayin'
NO LONGER SAY WHITE HOUSE BUT SAY STATE HOUSE . Yes …
If the think it's a lynching like Emmet let's make it legit and string the rest of them ignorant fools ,get some real justice lynch these baby killer's,cop killer's
This is a tribute to George Floyd

Not about this video but I think this vandalism situations show us they don't want to stop racism, they just like do whatever they like. George floyd killed by a racist police officer but I have seen a lot of Black people that overreact about daily issues. If a women is raped , it was a crime, but if this woman is a black person , people scream like " tHiS iS RacIsM" . We should be able to separate these situations.

What do you really know. Can we see George Floyd's death certificate and autopsy. Can we see "officer" Derek Chauvin's police academy graduation certificate, and his other policing credentials. If you have a real interest in this affair, you need to also research Maya Santamaria, her nightclub, El Nuevo Rodeo Club, her radio station La Raza, the political group La Raza (The Race) La Raza Unida Party, active as a political party representing Mexican-American racial identity politics, that she is associated with, and the Castro Brothers, Joaquin and Julian Castro, and their association with the aforementioned. All this should be bought into the open, before we even begin to discuss this case. If you have no idea what I am speaking of – then you have no right to speak on this matter.
