Floreşti Ralph Paul Yarl was picking up his two siblings. He went to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri. The White man who opened the door did not see a lost 16-year-old boy. He saw a threat. Shot Ralph, twice. Once in the head to kill him. Somehow Ralph survived. 1/ pic.twitter.com/TWXTCUUkBO

This black teen boy went to pick up his sibling but accidentally went to the wrong house, the owner of the home shot the kid in the head, then shot him again once he was down.

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3) pic.twitter.com/4VaZo7EFVE

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
