emmett till case
Dear reader,
I did my research on the Emmett Till case and murdering. I choose this topic because I was interested in finding out how the case had been handled and what the whole story was. That was also my investigation question.
What I have learned over all is that most people thought of this a murder and some thought of it as just another lynching. When they toke the case to court the only thing the killers were charged for was for kidnapping. When the killers where free the town started to boycott their stores and put peer pressure on them to leave the town.
For my firsts piece I did a short story. In this piece I was showing background information. It mostly talks about who Emmett was and why he was in the south.
For my second piece I did a story. In this piece I am showing how things got started, what was said to the clerk, and how she reacted. She had said that she didn’t want Emmett hurt or anything to happen to him but he wanted to show him he need to show more respect.
For my next piece I made a time line. In this piece I am showing the events from when Emmett is born till when the case is over. This piece is mostly meant to show how long the trial toke.
For my fourth piece I made a police report. I did this to show that the killers were arrested and that what they had said to the police. I also did this to give another point of view of the incident that had caused this problem.
For the fifth piece I did a newspaper article. This contains how the brother(killers) had their stores boycotted and how peer pressure causes them and their families to leave town.
For my sixth piece I did a funeral invention. This tells about how Emmett’s mother couldn’t even tell that his body was him. It also includes how his mother had an open casket funeral. Who, where, and facts about the funeral.
