I thought about Emmett proverb

 I thought about Emmett Till, and I couldn't go back,
  Jesse Jackson

 I thought about Emmett Till, and I could not go back. My legs and feet were not hurting, that is a stereotype. I paid the same fare as others, and I felt violated. I was not going back.

 When I first saw the picture of Emmett Till, I was 10. I couldn't believe that something so bad could happen. I was fortunate to see that photograph because it had a great impact on my life.

 The Untold Story of Emmett Till.

 The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till

 If we can get somebody on the witness stand it would bring some closure, ... If Keith hadn't come along with his film, the Emmett Till case never would have been reinvestigated. It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in. If we can get somebody on the witness stand it would bring some closure, ... If Keith hadn't come along with his film, the Emmett Till case never would have been reinvestigated.

 There's a good chance that this case is going to be reopened. They exhumed the body. They looked at the body. They were able to tell what kind of bullet it came from... determine what torture had been done to Emmett Till.

 The horrific sacrifice Emmett Till and his mother made is something no family should have to make, no child or parent. But that sacrifice has also served as a beacon to the country for tolerance and acceptance.

 I would certainly advocate for that. We'd be very disappointed if we didn't do that. We certainly realize Emmett Scott played a vital spot in the history of Tyler ... We certainly want to remember and commemorate Emmett Scott and what it meant to this community.

 If it was good enough for Kennedy, and it was good enough for King, it was good enough for Emmett Till.

 But anybody with any credibility at the time accepted that was Emmett's body, including the sheriff. He gave the body first to Moses Wright (Till's great-uncle) and then to a black funeral parlor. He later claimed the body was as white as he was, but he didn't think that when the body was found.

 Maybe we're doing something right, ... I don't mean to sound greedy, but my only regret is that a couple of our films had a good shot: 'The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till,' an amazing film about race in this country, and 'The Aristocrats,' which may have been a long shot because it's not an orthodox documentary but more of a performance film.
