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. And #PercivalEverett has written a magnificent book about #EmmettTill. If you haven't read it, I recommend you run to the bookstore and get it. It's called #TheTrees.
