The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B. Tyson

5.0

Although published in 2017, it is as much our present moment as it is about Emmett Till and his murderers’ unjust acquittal. So many passages held an eerie prescience for what we are still reckoning with in 2020. The courage and fortitude of his mother, Mamie was awe-inspiring and, frankly, super-human in how she was able to leverage her private grief into a public movement.
