Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955)

“Emmett was a funny guy all the time. He had a suitcase of jokes that he liked to tell. He loved to make people laugh. He was a chubby kid; most of the guys were skinny, but he didn’t let that stand in his way. He made a lot of friends at McCosh.” - Richard Heard, a school friend.

[the-penny-dreadfuls]

This is the last letter Emmett Till wrote to his mother, Mamie Till Bradley, during his trip to Mississippi. During the summer of 1955, the young Chicago native traveled to down to the south to visit with family. Emmett and Mamie shared a close relationship, and although he was having a great time with his cousin, he missed his mother dearly. Half-way through the trip, he wrote her a letter, asking how she was and letting her know that he was enjoying himself. He signed off with nickname “BoBo”. Mamie was delighted to see a letter from her son. It arrived on August 27th, 1955, just one day before Emmett was abducted and sagely beaten to death by three white men. He was fourteen-years-old.

The note reads: 

Dear Mom, 

How is everybody? I hope you and Jean is fine. I hope you all had a nice trip. I am having a fine time will be home next week. Please have my motor bike fixed for me (pay you back) If I get any mail post it up for me. I am going to see uncle Crosby Saturday. Everybody here is fine and having a good time. Tell Aunt Alma hello. (out of money)

Your Son, BoBo
