Aug. 28 is the anniversary of the murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was accused of whistling at a white woman at a grocery store in Mississippi. He was kidnapped, tortured, lynched and dumped in a river in 1955. Today, the communities in towns closely connected to Emmett’s story are grappling with the legacy of the lynching.
