Emmett Till was a teenage boy who was visiting his grandparents in Mississippi when he was killed. Supposedly Emmett whistled at a white female store owner after making a purchase. When the women's husband, Roy Bryant, found out about this situation he recruited JW Milam (his brother in law) to find the boy and punish him.
Ultimately, Bryant and Milam find Emmett Till at his grandparent's house. From there they kidnap him, beat him to death, and then throw him in a river where his body is found a few days later. These two men were accused of homicide but found guilty by an all white jury.
