Emmett Till Case - The Nation Is Horrified by the Emmett Till Murder - Jet Magazine, September 15, 1955

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.

Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... They are happily appreciated!

Enjoy!

Actually, I have the issue but at the time, Jet Magazine didn't print the picture in all issues. In the issue I have the photo is not there. Another person I know has the same issue (she was from New York) with the photo in it. I suppose the photo was published in the areas that could stomach it...

This is horrible. Just horrible. It shows just how ruthless racists can be. There are still racists today who would do this to a child. And what was with the FBI not wanting to be involved because it was a local crime? I thought kidnappings were one of the category of crimes the FBI took part in. I wouldn't doubt Hoover was not interested in it because he was a racist.

I have studied about racism in the world, and came to the conclusion that the USA feels ashamed of
what blacks went. But that is not enough. The division is within man. Before they were blacks, Hispanics today are ... One day you will feel the same shame.777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
