520 Presents fifteen interlinked sonnets to pay tribute to
Emmitt Till, a fourteen-year-old African American boy who
was lynched in Mississippi in 1955 for supposedly
whistling at a white woman, and whose murderers were
acquitted. The brutality of his murder, the open-casket
funeral, and the acquittal of the men tried for the crime
drew wide media attention. Award-winning poet Marilyn
Nelson reminds us of the boy whose fate helped spark the
civil rights movement. This martyr's wreath, woven from a
little-known but sophisticated form of poetry, challenges
us to speak out against modern-day injustices--to speak
what we see. Newbery Honor-winning poet Nelson offers an
evocative tribute to a 14-year-old boy whose lynching in
1955 helps spark the civil rights movement. Full color.
