## Resource

Eighty-five years after his murder, Emmett Till’s legacy still shakes America’s conscience. At just fourteen, his life was brutally stolen in Mississippi after a fatal encounter with racism — his body recovered from the Tallahatchie River, mutilated beyond recognition. His mother’s courageous open-casket funeral, immortalized in haunting photos, became a rallying cry for justice and a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. Though no one has ever been convicted for his killing, his story endures through the tireless efforts of his family and the generations he inspired — including Rosa Parks. Beyond the tragedy, Till was a vibrant, clever boy whose life reminds us that the fight for justice is never finished.
