A modern tragedy, this story has had a great impact on race
relations in America. Emmett Till's kidnapping and murder, a
grotesque crime in a Southern backwater that became the catalyst
for the civil rights movement, is explained in this dramatic
narrative by the cousin who was present every step of the way.
Simeon Wright saw and heard his cousin Emmett whistle at Caroline
Bryant at a grocery store and slept in the same bed with him when
her husband came in and took Emmett away; he was there during the
aftermath of the murder, and at the trial, where his father
testified. This""gripping coming-of-age memoir may not bring
closure to the Till case, whose perpetrators were left unpunished,
but it will set the facts straight about that life-changing
incident in 1955.
