In this powerful Black History Month special, we examine the life, murder, and lasting legacy of Emmett Till — the 14-year-old whose brutal killing in 1955 became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. From Chicago to Mississippi, and through the historic trial that shocked the nation, we explore how a mother’s courage forced America to confront racial injustice. 

This episode connects Emmett Till’s story to today’s fight against racism, hatred, and systemic injustice. His name still matters. His story still warns us. And history still demands we pay attention.
