Synopsis: The story of Emmett Till, the black teenager from Chicago who was killed in Mississippi in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman. Till's killing by a group of white Southerners is widely recognized as the impetus of the civil rights movement. The men were acquitted by an all-white, all-male jury after less than an hour of deliberation. Four months later, they boasted about the crime in an interview with Look magazine but were never brought to justice because of laws against double jeopardy.
