lyrics

Emmett Till

(Spoken word)
Emmett was just a boy
And it was his first time away from home
Going down to the Delta to see Uncle Moses
But he'd never make it back to Chicago

They beat him and broke his bones
They shot him in the head
Dumped his body in the Tallahatchee River
With no remorse he was dead.

Crosses in Mississippi were burning
Yet the world kept turning
A country stood aside ignoring
But Emmett Till we won't forget you

(Spoken Word)
They say he whistled at a white woman
But that ain't no excuse
For taking a 14 year old boys life
His killers deserved the noose

No justice was served in Sumner that day
As Emmett's killers walked away
The all white jury refused to convict
Emmett's killers because they were rascist

Crosses in Mississippi were burning
Yet the world kept turning
A country stood aside ignoring
But Emmett Till we won't forget you
Crosses in Mississippi were burning
A nation stood aside ignoring
While a mother wept in mourning
But Emmett Till we won't forget you
