Emmett till

Emmett till was not the first to go through such cruelty and racism. But his death was what sparked or shown the reality of racism that went on back in those days to the world. To be different or of color in those days were not a good thing. You were basically was an animal to majority of Anglo Saxons. Separate schools, water fountain, bathroom, seats, cups etc…was to me a symbol of “superiority” “fear” the Saxons thought they were better than black people. At that time the world was a totally weird place it seems to me. Where we (black and whites) couldn’t function together as one. We have come a mighty long way from those time but we still have some coming with Arizona and places up North. One day we will be one. But until then we need to try to be.
