Happy Birthday to Emmett Till. He would've been 83 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.

NEW: Authorities release footage of Illinois deputy Sean Grayson k*lling 36-year-old Sonya Massey who called the police because she thought someone tried breaking into her home.
Horrific.
Massey, who was a paranoid-schizophrenic, was told to take boiling water off the stove by officers.
When she went over, Massey asked why the officers were backing up, to which they responded: "Away from your hot steaming water."
Massey appeared to threaten to throw the water on the officers which is when they pulled out their guns.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry," Massey said as she quickly apologized.
Grayson, who later said he thought she was going to throw the water at him, then shot her three times, one hitting her under the eye which exited out her neck.
Grayson was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree m*rder. He is being held without bond.
A Black woman in her own home called 911 due to a burglar in her home. This officer came in and shot her and refused for his partner to render aid to her. Say her name: Sonya Massey.
Don’t remain silent. Stand up for her and fight. This should not have happened…
30 is not old. I want y’all to unlearn that.
It’s causing many to rush their life rather than enjoy the journey.
Your life doesn’t end at 30; it’s still blooming. At 30, you’ve only been an adult for 12 years. You’re not even a “teen” in the “adult years.” Chill out.
& at the point where the violence is so blatant, but you still get “No… you’re seeing things?”
Let them know how clear you see it all.
This is just the first match. Ready the body, mind and spirit folks. It’s gonna be a tough ride.
No mam, EVERYBODY need to be in JAIL... I don't understand any of the reports documenting no doul play involved however, this girl clearly was beaten up. Something happened‼️
This is giving me Kenneka Jenkins all over #shanquellarobinson
