흑인 역사 || 에밋 틸의 이야기 || 아프리카계 미국인 역사

Emmett Till was a 14-year-old African American boy who was viciously kidnapped and murdered after being accused of offending a white woman by the name of Carolyn Bryant. His perpetrators, who were white, did not get punished for the heinous crimes they committed, even after they admitted what they did. Neither Emmett nor his family were granted justice  by the court because of the color of their skin. This story sent shockwaves around the world, especially when Emmett Till's brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, took action. 

In this requested class, students will learn about the life of Emmett Till and the brutal crimes committed against him. Although this is a difficult topic to discuss, it is very important that true story of Emmett Till be told. By the end of class, students will know Emmett Till’s story and its impact on the Civil Rights Movement. Students will also learn how his courageous mom, brought national attention to the injustices faced by black people during the Jim Crow era. Students will get a better understanding of how black lives were not valued and how black people were denied a fair trial before the court. This true story is just one  example of the long history of injustices against African Americans.
