Wreath For Emit Till. Author Said Emit Till's Murder Has Been.Apart Of Her Life. She Wrote Poems About Lynching For Children...

  • 3 weeks later...

Here is a new book about Till's murder.  The woman responsible for Till's murder said (rough quote from the book), that the boy did nothing that deserve the was he was treated.  I have not read far enough into the book to get a sense that she feels guilty at all, just that if happened so long ago that her memory of exactly what happened was not clear, but she did admit that parts of her testimony at the trial were lies.

The Blood of Emmett Till
