Emmett Till, the spark that started it all.
Emmett Till was born in Chicago and grew up in a middle-class Black neighborhood. Till was visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi, in 1955 when the fourteen-year-old was accused of whistling at Carolyn Bryant, a white woman who was a cashier at a grocery store.
Four days later, Bryant's husband Roy and his half-brother J.W. Milam kidnapped Till, beat him and shot him in the head. The men were tried for murder, but an all-white, male jury acquitted them.
Till's murder and open casket funeral empowered the emerging civil rights movement. More than six decades later, in January 2017, Timothy Tyson, author of The Blood of Emmett Till and a senior research scholar at Duke University, revealed that in a 2007 interview Carolyn admitted to him that she had lied about Till making advances toward her.
In 2018, the Justice Department said that it had received “new information” about Till’s death, and the FBI reopened an investigation into his murder.” (source)

In her lifetime Baker found her way in many active leading groups such as, the YNCL and the NAACP.
In 1957, Baker helped launch the SCLC ,which Martin Luther King Jr. co founded along many other.
During her time there she organized the event that led to the creation of the SNCC.
In her later years Baker remained fighting for social justice issues and equality.
Of course her legacy lives on.

These folks are being called out and they are here to get us caught up. Keep your eyes open. A lot of the time these are the ones starting the violence, etc. Just like the looting in Snobbsdale (Scottsdale). Some businesses effected or not by Covid may be paying for bs to happen so they can get insurance money to help their recovery. #downtownphoenix #controlledchaos #posers #blackactivist #hypocrite #fuck12 #fuckthepolice #blackunity #blackpower #blackstrength #blackawareness #justiceforgeorgefloyd #dionjohnson #nolove4colonizer #whiteagenda #blackunity #blackliberation #blackwalstreet #blackpride #problack #phoenixprotest #slavepatrol #riots #raids #killercops #policebrutality #icantbreathe #colinkaepernick #derekchauvin #pinkfolks #anotherone https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3Qaj8JYJ6/?igshid=npskpmnl75j6
