Emmett Till was a 14 year old boy who lived in Chicago with his mom and family. He moved back to where his mom lived in Mississippi and he went into a store to get some refreshments and he whistled at the lady store owner and after a few days her husband went to Emmett's house and kidnapped and beat him to death. His father was unfaithful to his mother so they split up and she went with his mom. At the age of six he was diagnosed with polio which made him have a stutter. I think that it was a very bad idea to kill Emmett because his wife lied about what he did. I feel like it was a very stupid thing of them to do, lying under oath. Some types of injustices were that the wife of the murderer lied under oath and to everyone because she was “insulted”
