The murder of Emmett Till is so sad. This was not a fair trial and it wasn’t intended to be. It’s sickening to know Carolyn Bryant lives her life as though she wasn’t the reason a child didn’t get to experience life. She finally confessed she lied 60 years later.
Its sad how this was never mentioned in my middle and high school and never even taught. I never realized how blatant his killing really was and how bold people were when killing him. The courage of the people speaking out and fighting for change is also very surprising, its easy to fight for inequality when you know you wont face any consequences but its hard when you know your life and the people around you will always be in danger
The death of Emmitt Till shook this country like no other. It magnified the racial issue that has been going on in America but ignored for so many years. The country has come a long way but honestly its sickening that we are still hearing rumors of lynching now. African Americans have always been strong and although the odds are against us, we always make the best of it.
This documentary is hard to watch. Mostly because they did emmit so bad , and no justice was found. A lot of African American people stood up to the system and wanted change. Seeing our people fight for change , equality and pushing the movement. Its sad we had to loose so many life’s to get this pointed we are still fighting.
I learned more information on the Emmitt Till case in this video that I did back in grade school. It is sad how he died but it showed me that it was one reason for the bus boycot and many other protest.
history will always repeat itself if people never learn from the past these movements of communities coming together to be a force any way they could and what they could really do once they come together like the one day bus boycott
While watching this video I saw how far black people have came as a whole. It’s sad that we still have to fight for justice today but today we’re putting up more fights for our voices to be heard. It’s very devastating that, that happened to Emmit Til.
After watching this video, I felt like our people have been through so much for us to still be fighting for justice today. It was sad that this happened to Emit Til. It’s sad how our black boys couldn’t be young boys. This documentary was very informative and it opened my eyes even more about what lack people faced.
It’s beautiful to see how far we have come at the same time it’s so sad to see how far we have to go. Martyrs like Emmett Till serve as concrete evidence to prove to the world the mistreatment and crimes against black people in America. I was not surprised the men were not found guilty, however Emmett’s name will forever be remembered in history. Events like this show me that we may not be here to see a change in racism in America, however we should continue the fight for our future generations like the fighters who came before us.
After watching this video ,I realized all the effort the black race was fighting for justice . Just like today its still going on its very sad to see it happen over and over.
It was so sad with what happened to Emmitt Till. He was just a naïve, young boy who could’ve grown up and had a family and a career, but his killers took that away from. I’m glad that we had people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King to stick up for us.
This video show how much of a change African Americans as a whole can make in the world. Unfortunately, it is sad that we as colored people have to go through traumatic experiences with proof of unlawfulness in order for there to be a change.
The documentary is very moving. Watching what it takes to make such a great change is inspiring. It speaks volumes to what’s happening today, but the divide in this nation just becomes clearer when you out into perspective that what we’re learning in history class didn’t happen long ago and it is often portrayed but those less educated say that the trials and tribulations faced by racism are long gone. It’s sad to see how bad white southerners have created their reputation of racism, lack of education, and immoral views of human life.
Watching this video I realized all the effort that black people made for equality rights and that until now they continue fighting to have. I am very proud to see how the whole community was united by a greater good that they knew might take a long time to achieve.
Watching this video it brings me joy watching my people come together to stand for what is right. Although, it also saddens me that my people aren’t as unified today. If we just took the time to educate ourselves and come together as one like they did back in the day, we could be so much farther in life, especially with all the technological advances that we have today. It’s also sad because even though so changes were made after the time of Dr. King, we still have a long way to go. Our black schools and HBCUs are underfunded compared to private schools. Our people make less than our white counterparts for the exact same job. We are still being lynched and it is being brushed off. Our people need to wake up yet again but this time we need to not end any protests or boycotts till everything has changed.
It is always amazing to watch how black people never gave up on their freedom. A very powerful movement. However, its sad to see that people had to go through this just to be treated like human beings, just to be treated as they should have been normally treated. It never stops to amaze me how whites treated black people. They treated them like animals and they always wanted to show that they are superior. Having to watch what black people went through is painful. The lynching of Emmett Till is always very heartbreaking to watch, the way they left him so unrecognizable. The fact that black people never gave up and went against segregation just shows how brave they were. They went through all kind of humiliation but never stopped fighting.
watching this video made me happy and sad. happy they took a stand for what they believed in and what they wanted but sad that they had to do all this just to be treated they way any human deserves to be treated. sad for the lives that were lost in the process and sad again because he we are in 2020 fighting the same fight.
This video just made me realize how people fought and gave it there all to get what they wanted . No matter how much hate , mistreatment and bad stares they wanted to show people that they will and would continue to change America.
This video just proves how strong and powerful African Americans are. Even though they were suppressed, they never gave up and kept fighting for what they believed in.
Everything about this documentary made me realize how powerful African Americans truly are. The fact that they never gave in or up and continued with the boycott for 11 months straight, goes to show that we can truly make a difference. They did what they felt was right and by doing so, they made history. A huge impact was made by simply walking everyday instead of riding the bus!!
Very powerful movement. Vey powerful documentary. Its always impressive to watch African Americans use innovative methods to change American politics. Seeing African Americans fight for thier rights in the south reminds me that in my DNA is courage grace and intelligence. Watching African Americans battle for their rights speaks volumes about both the state of our country and the legacy of the south.
It’s amazing how they took a chance for what they wanted, which they should’ve never had to want for anything but it’s just how it was. And the movement was so important and was willing to get beat for segeration and just watching how the whites beat on blacks is so sad. And the small steps helped .
