Jackson liked the $25,000 casket in which
James Brown
was buried so much that he ordered one for himself and was reportedly
buried in it after his untimely death in 2009. However, this picture,
which circulates on the internet and purports to be Jackson in his open
coffin, is actually a photoshopped hoax.
Emmett Till was just 14 when he was lynched for
allegedly whistling at a white woman in 1955 Mississippi. Emmett's
mother Mamie Till insisted on an open casket funeral: She wanted to
world to see the horrific spectacle of her son's savagely beaten face.
The photo of Till's body made international headlines, and is thought to
have fueled the Civil Rights Movement.
