The DOJ has reopened the Emmett Till investigation, the case of a black teenaged boy whose grisly murder in the 1950’s helped to spur the civil rights movement.
After being accused of sexually assaulting of a white woman, Till was abducted and then brutally beaten and shot. His mutilated body was thrown into the Tallahatchie River, weighted down by a cotton gin fan.
