I'll give you the rundown.
Emmett Till was a fourteen year old black male who basically got shot in the head for wolf whistling at a white woman.
After he got shot,the killers did some pretty disturbing **** with his body and threw it in a river.
Emmett's killers were white.
The Jury who handled that trial was all white.
His Killers got off free.
Emmett's case has similarities to this case due to the police's initial refusal to arrest Zimmerman,Much like the court refused to prosecute Till's murderers.
