Till had come down from Chicago to visit his relatives. This is moonlight. Lewis chill. Sunday morning about two 30, someone called at the door. And I said, who is it? And he said, this is mister Brian. I won't to talk with you and boy. And when I opened the door, there was a man standing with a custody in one hand and he flashlight in the other hand. And he asked me, did I have two boys? They're from Chicago. I told my hair. And if I wanted, I want to board that done all that toe. And in my attempt to recover and they had someone there was this is the right boy. And now the world here and these drove to our money. And I found out about it 9 30 Sunday morning. I was in there. I got up, come on, mother. When I got the news, because I had every decision I had ever made or every crack that I had ever been on it took her to get me out of it. And I took them to mama too, because I didn't know what to do. Mother told me to come out over when she was starting making calls. And I got over there quickly as I could make it. And what was the very long? By this time, everyone in money knew what had happened. Emmett Till had broken one of segregation rules. He talked fresh to a white woman in a store. He was only 14. He was a northerner, and he didn't understand. He went into the store to buy some canyon. Before we went in here, it showed the boys run his age. He had some picture of some white kids that he had graduated from. Female and male. So he told the boys down there, you know, he got around his store. This one must have been wrong about. Maybe ten to 12 youngsters around there. But the girls was his girlfriend. So one of the local boys said, hey, it's the bureau in their store there. So I bet you won't go in there and talk to her. So he went in there to get some can. So when he was leaving out his store, after buying the canyon, he told us they buy baby. And the next thing I knew, one of the boys came up to me. And say, man, you got a crazy cousin. He just went in there and say it back to that white woman. And that's when. This man I was playing check it with this older man. I guess he must have been around about 60 or 70. He jumped straight up and said, boy, say yo, but the guy out of here say, LA to come out of that store and blow your brain, you saw. Where did the shed came? And told me they had found a body at pillow and wanted me to go and identify the body, which I did. And we found about it with didn't have on any clothes at all. It boiled so barely down until we couldn't hardly just tell who he was, but he happened to have on a ring with his initial. And that cleared it up. The body was shipped home, back north to Chicago, where mamie till Bradley insisted on an open casket funeral. So all the world can see, she said, what they did to my boy. There's a wide world of.
