FBI Exhumes Emmett Till's Body
The FBI exhumed the body of Emmett Till today after a short graveside ceremony. It will probably be several months before we hear the results of the autopsy. We remain skeptical that any indictments will result from this new investigation. For why, see here.
For those who would like to attend, from September 15 to 17 Stillman College in Tuscaloosa will host an academic conference marking the fiftieth anniversary of the murder of Emmett Till and the trial of his alleged killers. For more information, contact Linda Royster Beito at lbeito@stillman.edu.
