Question

Why do you think that the murder of Emmett was the event that the Civil Rights Movement ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The murder of Emmett Till is an example of the Civil Rights movement because he was accused of physically assaulting a white lady. It's not 100% clear what he did, but it's believed that he dog whistled. The whistling may have been inappropriate, but for Emmett to later be killed in such a gruesome way he was, was also not right, and that would never have happened to white boy if he did the same thing. The Civil Rights movement was when black people wanted more and fair rights to white people. This is how the Emmett Till murder relates to the Civil rights movement.
