If justice can come 63 years later he and his mother can finally rest. Child taken far too soon but made headlines that sparked a movement. Prayers go out to his family and please let justice finally be served. #Repost @powerinblacktees ・・・ Repost from @shaunking - BREAKING: 63 years after he was murdered, the government has agreed to reopen the murder case of Emmett Till - saying it has received new information. I have two thoughts here. One, I am immensely proud of the family of Emmett Till. All of these years later - generations have passed - and they have never given up. Secondly, it’s bittersweet because this case never should’ve closed. The men who murdered Emmett are widely known. The evidence was overwhelming. The witnesses were plentiful. Had this case been taken seriously in the 50s or 60s or even 70s, almost all of the people responsible were still alive. Nonetheless, this was the desire of the family and I am still holding out hope that even a shadow or hint of justice can be delivered.
