Emmitte Litt

1. Born in Chicago, he was the only son of a Mississippi native named Mamie Till, whose family migrated as part of the Great Migration to Chicago. He developed polio at age 6, which left him stuttering. He stayed outgoing amid the setback. He and his cousins and friends enjoyed playing baseball, riding bicycles and fishing. He was so fond of having fun that he would pay people to tell him jokes. He moved to Mississippi in August 1955 for a holiday with his nephew, Wheeler Parker. The boys were staying at the
2. Posthumously, Till became a symbol of the movement for civil rights. Till was born and raised in the Illinois town of Chicago. He visited relatives near Money, in the Mississippi Delta area, during the summer holidays in August 1955. He talked to twenty-one-year-old Carolyn Bryant, the married white owner of a small grocery store there.
3. On August 28, 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till, an African American from Chicago, was brutally murdered while visiting his family in Money, Mississippi, for allegedly flirting with a white woman four days earlier.
4. A public open-casket funeral for her son insisted on Till's distraught mother to shed light on the abuse inflicted on blacks in the South. Till's killers were acquitted, but civil rights leaders nationally were galvanized by his murder.
5. 'A number of stakeholders' questioned the Department of Justice in 2004 if any remaining offenders could be tried. The department concluded after analyzing available records that, according to the report, the statute of limitations prohibited any criminal prosecution. A Mississippi grand jury refused to press fresh charges three years later.

Answer:

1. Emmett Till was an African American teenager. When he was a child, his parents separated and he was raised by his mother and grandmother his entire life.

2. Emmett was born in Chigaco, Illinois, on July 25, 1941, and he attended James McCosh Elementary School. In 2005, the school was renamed Emmett Louis Till Math and Science Academy in honor of him.

3. Emmett was hanged on August 28, 1955, after being falsely accused of harassing a white woman in a grocery store. In 2008, the white woman confessed that she was actually lying about Emmett harassing her.

4. After 65 years, Emmett's murderers have still not been punished. Once they confessed to murdering him, they were never punished and they spent their entire lives in freedom instead. But an organization called 'The Emmett Till Legacy Foundation' has honored him by telling his story to others, planning events and fundraisers, and encouraging people to support and donate. People have also created books, songs, and documentaries about him. Author James Baldwin wrote a book on Emmet called 'Blues for Mister Charlie’ while William Faulkner wrote several essays about him.

I'm sorry I couldn't do everything, but I tried to do as much I could. But I hope this helps you. Good luck! :)

c)the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment


The Fifteenth Amendment allowed for black men to vote. Women were not extended the right to vote.


Despite working toward abolition and the right to vote at the same time, women were not granted the right to vote. This inspired women's groups to reorganize but it also created a split in ideology. On one side, women who believed the Fifteenth Amendment did apply to women and were willing to work with blacks to test the amendment. The other side believed blacks were responsible for women not getting the right to vote and their new mission was to achieve an amendment specifically giving women the right to vote.
