Help me please!!

Answer 1

#1. At the age of five, Emmett was stricken with polio. He recovered but was left with a slight stutter. Despite his childhood illness, he grew up a happy boy. Emmett pitched in with the chores.
The south still were not seeing African Americans as citizens while the north had already abolished laws from 1830, which makes it more dangerous since they knew they wouldn’t have consequences for what they did to African Americans.
#2. Milam invaded Emmett Till's great-uncle's home and abducted the boy at gunpoint. They then severely beat him and gouged out one of his eyes before taking him to the banks of the Tallahatchie River, where they killed him with a single gunshot to the head.
#3. He thought the whistle was a sign that he was trying to hit on her, or a sign that he wanted her, and since he was black he took it more harsh.
#4. She said she wanted a open casket because “I think everybody needed to know what had happened to Emmett Till,” she said. Mamie's decision would make her son's death a touchstone for a generation.
#5. The white Americans did not care, they thought he deserved it simply because he was black. However, African Americans was a spark in the upsurge of activism and resistance that became known as the civil rights movement.
