The True Story of Emmett Till – Till Full Movie

In August 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till lived with his mother, Mamie, at 6427 South Saint Lawrence Ave in Chicago, Illinois. Before Emmett leaves to visit relatives in Money, Mississippi, Mamie warns him to be extra careful around white people.

The Fateful Encounter at Bryant’s Grocery and Meat Market

At a train station, the Tills meet with Mamie’s uncle, Mose “Preacher” Wright, and Emmett’s cousin, Wheeler Parker. After picking cotton on a sharecropper plantation, Emmett and his cousins purchase candy at the Bryant’s Grocery and Meat Market. At the cash register, Emmett tells Carolyn Bryant that she looks like a movie star before showing her a photograph of a white girl in his wallet. Carolyn follows Emmett outside of the store, where he whistles at her. Disgusted, Carolyn retrieves a shotgun from her vehicle as Till and his relatives flee from the store.

The Tragic Events Unfold

In the early hours of August 28, Carolyn’s husband, Roy, and his half-brother, John William “J. W.” Milam, arrive at the Wrights’ house and force themselves inside. They locate Emmett inside one of the bedrooms and force him to put on his clothes before kidnapping him. Emmett’s great-aunt Elizabeth offers the men money, but Milam refuses. Before leaving, Milam holds Wright hostage with a gun. Inside one of the other vehicles, Carolyn identifies Till and the Bryants drive off into the night. Emmett is then badly beaten, fatally shot, and his body is dumped into the Tallahatchie River.

Justice Denied and Mamie’s Fight for Justice

Milam and Bryant are charged for their actions in relation to Till’s killing. Accompanied by her father, Mamie travels to Mound Bayou to help represent Emmett for the trial. Mamie’s actions galvanized the Civil Rights Act of 1957, dedicated her life to teaching children, and continued to fight for civil rights in America.
