About this Event

The brutal murder of 14-year-old Emmett Louis Till galvanized the civil rights movement in 1955. After the boy’s mother, Mamie Bradley, insisted on an open-casket funeral, a divided country mourned his loss while his murderers – who later confessed to their crimes – were found not-guilty by an all-white jury. Hear about the trial, the overlooked evidence and the documentary that focuses on the boy and eventually persuaded the FBI to reopen an investigation. This panel discussion features the filmmaker and the FBI special agents assigned to the case.
