'As a 52-year-old white woman, I can’t fully understand, and I would never presume to speak on the depth of pain experienced by Black people. But as a journalist, my job is to tell stories, to give voice to those who need it most,' writes kyraphillips.

The full story of what truly happened at that moment is still unknown, but what we do know, is that the white woman’s husband and his half-brother came looking for Emmett.Emmett Till was beaten, shot, strung up by barbed wire with a 75 pound metal fan around his neck and then dumped into the Tallahatchie River. When his lifeless and mutilated body was pulled from the water, Mamie Till was never going to let the world forget it.Mamie Till insisted on an open casket.

The injustice, the lack of accountability, the gut-wrenching circumstances surrounding Mamie’s son’s death, even the acquittal of the white men that murdered her son defined her life’s mission. Mamie Bradley, mother of lynched teenager Emmett Till, cries as she recounts her son's death, Washington, October 22, 1955.Now we are witnessing a continuation of this movement. We didn’t see the slaughter of Emmett Till, but weThe similarities between Emmett Till’s funeral and that of George Floyd are as striking as they are disturbing.

And now, her cousin Deborah Watts, says people are standing again. Deborah tells me a “generational pain” is now being felt by their entire family and that"a wound has been reopened,” but that they have never given up on their “pathway to justice."

ABC loves racism They love division They never report when Police shoot Whites At 64% of the population you dont think it happens The msm sucks you in

This repeat of history is a wake up call for all of us. Another reminder of the work that must be done to eradicate systemic racism and discrimination. This fight is not easy, but it must continue. I say a prayer for faith and peace to all the families affected by police violence

EnoughIsEnough

What about the funeral of david or any of the police that were killed in the protests? WalkAway from so called credible journalists and their TheDemocrats agenda

This is just idiotic. You can milk this unfortunate death all you want, but it is completely different from Till.

The leadership of BLACK LIVES MATTER should be arrested for promoting riots across this country and across the world. They are trying to divide our nation and promote hatred, violence and racism that does not exist in our working class communities. ARREST THESE TERRORIST NOW!!!

100% for Black Lives Matter! 100% for All Lives Matter! 100% against the rioting, looting and destruction of property. 100% against the Dems and the liberal media turning this into a hate Trump and a tactic to divide the country. The media has become a disgrace to our country

ABC and all these so called reporters are owned and paid by Soros and his chosen ' family ' .
