In 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was kidnapped, brutally lynched, and murdered while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. The horror of the act and his killers being acquitted raised broader awareness about the history of racism and anti-Black violence in the United States and elevated Emmett Till to a posthumous icon of the civil rights movement. Till tells the true and heartwrenching story of his mother, Mamie Till Mobley, and her dogged pursuit of justice for her son. She made the brave decision to have an open casket, public funeral for Emmett because, in her words, “I wanted the world to see what they did to my baby.” Thereafter, she was relentless in her activism, not only speaking up for her son but also fighting on behalf of greater racial justice, children living in poverty, and more. Her story is proof that one determined woman can change the world.
