Emmett Till’s story is one of the worst in our history and one of the most well-known. It’s an example of the kind of fear and hysteria that led to the racist degradation and dehumanization of Black citizens during the Jim Crow South. The film is slated for release in October, which is the sweet spot for the Oscar race.
