Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam were acquitted of murdering Till and dumping his body in the Tallahatchie River, and later that year, an all-white grand jury chose not to indict the men on kidnapping charges. A few months later, Bryant and Milam admitted to the crime in an interview with the national media. They were never convicted. Although Till's body was mutilated, his mother ordered that his casket remain open during the funeral service so that the country could observe the results of racially motivated violence in the Deep South. Media attention focused on the lynching fanned the flames of regional tension and impelled many individuals--including Rosa Parks--to become vocal activists for racial equality. In this innovative study, Darryl Mace explores media coverage of Till's murder and provides a close analysis of the regional and racial perspectives that emerged. He investigates the portrayal of the trial in popular and black newspapers in Mississippi and the South, documents post-trial reactions, and examines Till's memorialization in the press to highlight the media's role in shaping regional and national opinions. Provocative and compelling, In Remembrance of Emmett Till provides a valuable new perspective on one of the sparks that ignited the civil rights movement"--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Emmett Till's America -- August nights -- Home going -- "M is for Mississippi and murder" -- Trial by print -- Galvanizing the Emmett Till generation -- In remembrance of Emmett Till. 600 10 $a Till, Emmett, $d 1941-1955 $x Press coverage. $x Press coverage. 650 0 $a Lynching $x Press coverage $z Mississippi. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $x Press coverage $z Sumner. $z Sumner. 650 0 $a Mass media $x History $z Mississippi $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Journalism $x History $z Mississippi $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Memorials $x History $z Mississippi $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Southern States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Southern States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Public opinion $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 830 0 $a Civil rights and the struggle for Black equality in the twentieth century. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019021229.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826100238.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ACFE9666332F11E49E51C4E1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
