Emmett Till Case
"Getting away with murder - The true story of the Emmett Till Case" is written in 2003 by the author Chris Crow in hope of providing a better understanding of the Emmett Till case and keeping alive Emmett Till's memory. The nonfiction book is narrated by a 3rd person narrator and takes place in Mississippi, more specific in Tallahatchie County and the small town Money where oppression and segregation between blacks and whites takes place. The book casts light upon a very dark side of American history, its intimidating and brazen treatment of the Black people in the Southern states. This essay will discuss the Emmett Till case and how it influences the Civil Rights Movement afterwards.
As mentioned above, "Getting away with murder" takes place in Money, Mississippi where Emmett Till, a fourteen-year-old black boy, is visiting his uncle and aunt in the Southern state the summer of 1955. He is soon to discover that he is a long way from his home in Chicago and among racists and right-wing extremists, which in Emmett's case as well as thousands other blacks have fatal consequences. As a result of youthfully provocative behavior, Emmett Till is kidnapped in front of his family's eyes, tortured too and then shot by two white Second World War veterans Mr. Joy Bryant and Mr. J. W. Milam.
As a consequence of boredom, Emmett Till and his cousins leave uncle Mose 'Preacher' Wrigt's church meeting and drive to Money where Bryant's Grocery & Meat Market lies, which assemble black people playing checkers, listening to each others stories and music on the front porch. The Chicago boy, Emmett, quickly becomes the centerpiece because of his astonishing stories from his hometown, Chicago, and his stories about white women overexcite the local blacks.
Emmett Till is dared to ask the local beauty contest winner, Carolyn Bryant, on a date, which he immediately does. Emmett goes in and directly grabs her hand and says: "You needn't be afraid of my,
