Fourteen-year-old Emmett Till came to Bryants Grocery store to buy candy in August 1955. White shopkeeper Carolyn Bryant accused the black youth of flirting with her, and shortly thereafter, Till was abducted by Bryant’s husband and his half brother. Till’s tortured body was later found in the Tallahatchie River. The two men were tried and acquitted but later sold their murder confession to Look magazine. Till’s death received international attention and is widely credited with sparking the American Civil Rights Movement.”

In 2017 Carolyn Bryant confessed that she lied about what happened that day. Some 60 years after Emmett’s death.
