Death of Innocence blogged by Carolyn K.



Death of Innocence by Mamie Till-Mobley
9 hours 

It is the true story about the death of Emmett Till from his mothers point of view. He and his mother grew up in Argo, a small town outside Chicago. He was raised by his single mother, with the help of his grandmother, to be a good man. When he was only 13, he took a trip to his family's place in Alabama. He was abducted and killed there for allegedly whistling at a white woman. His mother, family, and pretty much Chicago's whole black community fight against this in court, making a large impact for civil rights in America.
