Emmitt Till was born 78 years ago today. He was a mere child when he was brutally murdered at 14 for "offending" a white woman. She later revealed her accusations were false.

Today is Emmitt Till’s Birthday. He would be 78 today. 64 years after his murder by members of the Mississippi KKK he continues to be plagued by violent acts of white supremacy. But we aren’t supposed to talk about that, right? https://t.co/CpdqbQotm6

The amount of ignorance it takes to see Emmett Till's death as something worthy of disrespect is staggering. https://t.co/QBoVESRPUl
