they murdered emmett till on this day in 1955 - his casket is going to the smithsonian (he got a new casket when he was reburied after an autopsy a few years ago) - this was the casket his mother insisted be open so that everyone could see what had been done to her 15-yr-old son---

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.

This was so unfair. No one deserves to be killed like this. EVER
This was so sad no one should be murdered like this...or murdered for that matter.
