The movie was very informative about the way blacks were treated from the south and it starts off with a crazy situation and it has two black kids from the north came down to visit family in the south. These kids were only 14 years old and really had no idea what kind of enviorment that they were coming into. The kids got down there and one of the kids named Emmett Till was dared to go and talk to a white girl. This is something not done by any blackman in the south because they were not seen as people and the whiteman used any excuse to beat up or kill a black person. So thats what happened to the kid and later they found his body and his mom had an open casket funneral to show the rest of the world what happened for just talking and being black in the south.
Also after that many things have follewed in sequence and it started with Alabama starting ti intergrate one of its high schools. This caused huge mobs and needed to call the national guard till they finally could get into the school and start to learn and while they were in school they had their own personal guard to walk them from class to class. Also they did sittins and many other tactics to try and get the country to notice every thing that was going on fro Rosa Parks to Dr. Martin Luther King.
1. Why did they not do anything after the funneral of the first kid and how bad he was beaten?
2. Why did the people get off from killing the kid?
This movie was very shocking and it started right in the begining with the kid being killed and the showing of the body and how bad it was beaten?
