Stjepan Filipović was a Yugoslav communist who led Kolubara Company of the Valjevo Partisan Detachment during the 1941 Partisan uprising. In December of 1941, he was captured by the Chetniks and handed over to the Gestapo headquarters in Belgrade. During his interrogation, he refused to cooperate. He was marked as an “impossible case” and sentenced to hang in Valjevo. On the 22nd of May, 1942, Filipović was taken to the gallows. As the rope was placed around his neck, he defiantly thrust his arms into the air and shouted: “Death to fascism, freedom to the people!”
On the 14th of December, 1949, he was declared a National Hero of Yugoslavia. A statue to commemorate him was erected in the town of Valjevo, Serbia.

A mourning ring is a ring which is worn in memory of somebody who has passed away. The stones mounted on the rings are typically black. Sometimes hair of the deceased would be incorporated into the ring.
The photographs above show some Victorian and Georgian mourning rings.
The skull of who was once known as the Two-Headed Boy, born in 1783 in the village of Mundul Gait in Bengal. Born into a poor farming family, he was nearly killed almost immediately after his birth after a terrified midwife threw him in a fire to destroy the infant. However, he miraculously survived, but not without severe burns. His parents decided to make money by showcasing their son, where he garnered a great deal of attraction from all over India. When large crowds would gather around to observe the two-headed boy, his parents would sometimes cover him with a sheet and hide him in darkness for hours at a time. Often, the two heads would function independently. If the main head cried or smiled, the second head’s features did not always match. If the main head was sleeping, the second head was typically alert and awake, its eyes darting around. The legendary Two-Headed Boy died at just the age of four of a cobra bite. The skull is now on display at the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of London.
The tomb of Liliana Crociati de Szaszak is located in La Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Liliana died at just 26-years-old on the 26th of February, 1970, when the hotel she was staying in was hit by an avalanche. Her mother designed the Neo-Gothic tomb and it is a stark contrast to the other tombs in the cemetery. When Liliana’s dog, Sabú, passed away, a bronze statue replicating him was erected alongside the tomb with Liliana’s hand resting on his head. Underneath the statues, is a poem written by her father. It reads:
To my Daughter
Only I ask myself why You left and left my heart destroyed That wanted only you, why? Why? Only destiny knows the reason, and I ask myself why?
Because we can’t be without you, why? You were so beautiful that invidious nature destroyed you. Why? I only ask myself why, if God exists, does he take away that which is not His. Because He destroys us and leaves us to an eternity of sadness!
Why? I believe in fate and not in you. Why? Because I only know that I always dream with you, why is that? For all the love my heart feels for you. Why? Why?

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde directed by Rouben Mamoulian, 1931
On the 24th of August, 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till went to Bryant’s Grocery and Meat Market in Money, Mississippi, to purchase some candy. Emmett was from Chicago and was in Mississippi visiting some relatives. At the store, Emmett was accused of whistling at and grabbing 21-year-old white store clerk, Carolyn Bryant. This action violated the Jim Crow social code and his fate was sealed.
In the early morning hours of the 28th of August, 1955, Carolyn, her husband, Roy, and his half-brother, John Miliam, appeared at Mose Wright’s house which was where Emmett had been staying. Emmett’s great-aunt offered them money in the hopes that they would cause no trouble but it was fruitless. They grabbed Emmett and shoved him in their truck before dropping Carolyn back home and driving out to an isolated barn. Once there, Emmett was pistol-whipped and beaten. Afterwards, he was shot dead and thrown in Tallahatchie River.
Two days later, Emmett’s body was found. His mother insisted on an open-casket funeral in Chicago. His face was so mutilated that it was unrecognisable. The brutality of his slaying sparked outrage and gave urgency to the civil rights movement. Eventually Bryant and Miliam were indicted for murder. During the trial, African American Willie Louis testified against the two white men, something Emmett’s family described as a “godsend.” At the time, his testimony would have posed great danger in the segregated south and it’s astounding that nothing untoward happened to him afterwards. Louis told the court that had spotted Emmett with Bryant and Miliam as he walked home and had heard the beating taking place in the barn. “I heard the screaming, beating, the screaming and beating,” he said.
The trial was extremely informal. Jury members were often drunk and many male white spectators carried handguns. During the trial, Bryant and Miliam confessed that they had taken Emmett that night but claimed that they had let him go. The defence had even argued that the body could have been anyone’s and not Emmett. An all white, all male jury acquitted both men. Years later, several members of the jury would acknowledge they knew the two men were guilty but didn’t see anything wrong with white men killing African Americans.
At the 60 year anniversary of Emmett’s murder, his family and friends gathered at his grave. Also in attendance was Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown Sr., the father of Michael Brown Jr. “Black lives matter. Black lives mattered when Emmett was killed. Black lives mattered when Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were killed. Black lives matter even today,” said U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush.
I’m 2017, Carolyn Bryant admitted she had fabricated the story and that Emmett hadn’t touched her or attempted to.
