beautiful 14-year-old boy, emmett till in mississippi. the year was 1955. till was kidnapped, tortured. he was lynched after being accused of whistling at a white woman in a grocery store. his murder stunned the nation. it ignited the civil rights movement in part, thanks to his mom, mamie, who made the gut-wrenching decision in her grief to hold an open casket funeral so the nation and the world could bear witness to this savagery of her son s murderers. she spent the rest of her life seeking justice for her beloved boy. she called him bo. mamie s story has largely been lost to history until right now, thanks to the extraordinary new film till. simply put, it is a masterpiece. it is already generating lots and lots of oscar buzz. it is essential viewing. my dear friend, academy award
