Provocateurs Desecrate Memorial To Racial Atrocity

"More than 50 bullet holes covering a memorial of Emmett Till, a black teenager killed by a lynch mob in 1955, have inspired a fundraiser for a new tribute at the site where the 14-year-old’s body was discovered. A fundraiser to restore and improve a memorial at the location where Till’s body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River in Mississippi has exceeded its goal of $15,000. It was inspired after filmmaker Kevin Wilson Jr. shared a photo of the sign riddled with over 50 bullet holes."
