A Coretta Scott King and Printz honor book now in paperback. A
Wreath for Emmett Till is "A moving elegy," says The Bulletin.
In 1955 people all over the United States knew that Emmett Louis
Till was a fourteen-year-old African American boy lynched for
supposedly whistling at a white woman in Mississippi. The brutality
of his murder, the open-casket funeral held by his mother, Mamie
Till Mobley, and the acquittal of the men tried for the crime drew
wide media attention. In a profound and chilling poem,
award-winning poet Marilyn Nelson reminds us of the boy whose fate
helped spark the civil rights movement.
