​

My name is Emmett Till and I was born in chicago july 25 1941 and my life was taken from me on august 28 1955 due to racism I was a young black individual destined to do great things in the future.

I had an illness growing up, but besides all that I grew up a happy boy. I was born in Chicago. I was always useful around the house, always helping with chores.

I was going to my cousin's house for vacation, just to have fun for a couple of weeks. My mother walked me to the bus stop. My mother had this gut feeling that something wrong was going to happen. So I gave my mother my father's watch and asked her to keep it until I get back. She gave me one last kiss, and I was on my way to my grandmother.

They were going to get married. I told them not to get married without me. They agreed.

I left to leave my mother waving me off, and there I was on the way to Mississippi, and finally there I was on the Mississippi soil. My uncle said he would take me to the fields so I could make a little bit of money. I got my fist pay and went to the store with my cousin. I went into the store and to go look for some candy. There, I saw the most beautiful white female ever, and I whistled at her. I thought I was being kind, but she saw it as nothing but a threat. I was so confused.

My cousin came in and pulled me out. Everybody was so quiet, you could hear the wind moving the leafs. She came out the store and went to go grab her gun. Me and my cousins rant o my uncle's car and we drove off.

Her detriment to kill me she started to chase the car but gave up. A few days after that, everything seemed normal, so I gave up on it until that one fateful night where everything went wrong. There,her husband and her friends came to the place where I stayed my uncle pleaded with them not to take me. I tried hiding, but they found me, grabbing my arms so tight It started to bleed. I was put in the back of a car, and there she was, the beautiful white woman from the store.

I was in pure disbelief. I was taken to this warehouse and beaten. They mutilated me. They shot me in the head, stabbed my body. It was 3 days of pure agonizing Pain. There laid my dead body in a lake like I was nothing my mother later found out and she never was the same again
