The Murder of Emmitt Till
Listen now
Description
The murder of Emmitt Till is one of the great tragedies and most heinous acts in US history.  This black teenager from Chicago was kidnapped, beaten, maimed, tortured, and finally killed.  And for what?  Maybe for flirting with a white woman.  This is a very difficult episode to listen to, but it is a very important episode as it shows what happens when hate is allowed to exist freely in a society.  When laws are made solely to oppress a minority.  How horrible life can be when the system is rigged against you. We truly hope this episode reaches far and wide so all of mankind can see what hate looks like.
