From CNN:
The investigation of the murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till, barbarous even in an era in which blacks in the South were subjected to untold viciousness, has been reopened based on "new information," according to a US Justice Department report to Congress.
Known as "Bobo" to those who loved him, Emmett's savage murder jolted a nation, spurring it to action on civil rights. Gruesome photos of the boy's mutilated body spread across the globe, lending jarring visuals to the stories of violence and discrimination coming out of the South.
Should Carolyn Bryant Donham be brought up on charges? She's 82 now and the statute of limitations has run out...
Today Emmett Till would be celebrating his 77th birthday.
