"I saw that the camera could be a weapon against poverty, against racism, against all sorts of social wrongs. I knew at that point I had to have a camera." -Gordon Parks, Life, 1999 #blackhistory #historymaker #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #blackhistoryisworldhistory #blackhistorymatters #poet #GiveHistoryBackItsColor #blackexcellence #photographer #blackhistorymakers #history #blackhistorymaker #film #director #blackdirectors #journalist #activist #vogue #blackactivist #lifemagazine #musician #writer #icon #moviemonday #historymakers #historicfigures #historylesson #blackmen https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf4MJbjubmH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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)
This is how ugly racism is:
It turned a beautiful boy into a unrecognizable being.

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
