NEVER FORGET KENDRICK JOHNSON, the 17-year-old Lowndes High School student was found dead on January 11, 2013, head-first inside a vertically rolled-up gym mat.
Authorities ruled it an accidental death by positional asphyxia.
No one was ever charged.
Look at this police officer was just brutalizing this young woman. And another police officer showed up and said hey enough is enough, and he continued the brutality. Luckily, he was fired and arrested.
July 25 is now officially Emmett Till Day in Illinois, honoring the life of the 14-year-old whose 1955 lynching helped galvanize the Civil Rights Movement. Till's funeral in Chicago and his mother Mamie Till's decision to hold an open-casket service became a turning point in America's fight for racial justice.
Happy Birthday to Emmett Till. He would've been 85 years old today.
At just 14, two white men kidnapped and brutally murdered him through mutilation for 'whistling' at a white woman.
decades later, Carolyn Bryant admitted to lying that Emmett Till made a pass at her.

Got the chance to see these talented players in action today! It was great having the @WNBA at Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center for All-Star Weekend.
Hal Williams, the beloved actor best known for his memorable roles as Officer "Smitty" Smith on Sanford and Son and Lester Jenkins on 227, has died at the age of 91. Rest in Power to a trailblazer whose talent and authentic portrayals helped elevate Black representation on television. His legacy will continue to live on in every generation that sees itself reflected in the stories he helped bring to life. 🙏🏿
🚨 A white police officer was caught on video beating a young Black child who was already on the ground.
The officer is seen kneeling over the kid and repeatedly punching him while the child begs “Stop, bro.” The boy is clearly not fighting back, yet this piece of shit keeps hitting him like he’s enjoying every second of it.
This is what happens when racist cops are allowed to treat Black children like animals and get away with it. Disgusting.
