junyaFixed To Fail: The Emmett Till Murder Trial (Part 2 of 2) (December 24, 2008)

Emmett Till's killers got away with murder. Like other crimes that took place in the South during the civil rights era, the Till murder case has been repackaged to fit the standard narrative of civil rights tourism. This presentation reexamines the case, exploring the role of the prosecution in maintaining Mississippi's brand of white supremacy.
