Qasim Rashid, Esq.Aug 28, 2023

OTD, Aug 28, 1955, white supremacists kidnapped, tortured, & murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till. Carolyn Bryant—the woman who knowingly falsely accused him—just passed. The warrant for her arrest ignored, she lived free.

Emmett isn't ancient history—he's contemporary reality.

@QasimRashid My mother was pregnant with me the summer he was murdered. Her parents hailed from Duck Hill, MS. If she ever thought of having her kids visit relatives--many Black parents in Northern States sent their children South to visit relatives when school let out for the summer--Till's death quashed that.
