Book
I'm reading a book called "Mississippi Trial 1955" It's a story about Emmitt Till. You guys know anything about him? I know he got murdered. Got beat real bad. The cops couldn't identify his body because he was beaten so bad. The murders shot him too. Really horrible. This was all because he whistled at a white woman!!! Awful! You can go here to look at Till's face after he was murdered: http://www.panopt.com/photogra/withers/fulewtill05.html I warn you, the picture is graphic!

I guess I should read first...I looked at the picture then read what you wrote. Sounds like an interesting book. Poor guy. I would have hated living in times that were that bad.
the story i though another kids eyes havn't got to the murder part yet.
The book sounde interesting!
oops "sounded"
where I'm at the kid just met Emmit.
Let me know how it is. Maybe I'll read it next
Did ya finish the book yet?
Sounds pretty interesting. That picture is horrible...Aren't you thankful we don't live in those times?
The world has created other problems to replace some of the stuff people dealt with back then, but we should all be thankful every day for the freedoms we do have!!!
I can't bring myself to look at the picture. I'm a wimp about that kind of stuff.
Let us know how it was when you're finished.
I'm at the part where he was killed.
I'm almost done with the book!!! The trile just finished. The 2 guys who murdered him were found NOT GUILTY! Can you beleive that?!
