He had gone into a small country store a few days earlier and made flirtatious remarks to a white woman, twenty-one-year -old Carolyn Bryant; Bryant’s husband and brother-in-law were two of Till’s attackers. They were never convicted, but Till’s lynching became one of the most notorious hate crimes in American history. It set off a wave of protests across the country, helped the NAACP gain thousands of members, and inspired famous activists like Rosa Parks to stand up and fight for equal rights for the first time. Part detective story, part political history, Timothy Tyson’s The Blood of Emmett Till revises the history of the Till case, not only changing the specifics that we thought we knew, but showing how the murder ignited the modern civil rights movement. Tyson uses a wide range of new sources, including the only interview ever given by Carolyn Bryant; the transcript of the murder trial, missing since 1955 and only recovered in 2005; and a recent FBI report on the case. In a time where discussions of race are once again coming to the fore, The Blood of Emmett Till redefines a crucial moment in civil rights history. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cSimon & Schuster|d2017 |nAvailable via World Wide Web. 600 10 Till, Emmett,|d1941-1955. 650 0 Lynching|zMississippi|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 African Americans|xCrimes against|zMississippi. 650 0 Racism|zMississippi|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Trials (Murder)|zMississippi|zSumner. 650 0 Hate crimes|zMississippi. 651 0 United States|xRace relations|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 Mississippi|xRace relations. 655 0 Electronic books. 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 776 08 |iOnline version:|aTyson, Timothy B., author.|tBlood of Emmett Till|dNew York : Simon & Schuster, [2017] |z9781476714868|w(DLC) 2016023098 856 40 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby|uhttps:// naperville.overdrive.com/media/201B66E5-B4F1-42B3-AEA9- C0767960B84C 856 42 |zClick here to access excerpt|uhttps:// samples.overdrive.com/?crid=201b66e5-b4f1-42b3-aea9- c0767960b84c&.epub-sample.overdrive.com
