Emmett Till: Where do you see social justice today? 350 words.

In 1950 a boy named Emmett till, who was black, came down from the north to see his family.  While there he was he was dared into talking to a white girl. What he said to her was bye baby. He dad and brother went to his house, and kidnapped him. He was latter found by one of his family members, Mose Right, at the end of  Tallahatchie river in Mississippi. He was beaten to death and shot. His family then toke the body back to where he was from. In Chicago, they held a open casket funeral, so everyone could see what happen to him.  There was a trial, it lasted 5 days, and the dad and brother of the girl were found not guilty.  The NAACP made the press come and report on this in-justice.   This story of in-justice relates to "To Kill A Mockingbird" when Tom is put on trial for raping Mayella Ewell. Everyone believed he did but really he did not and the only person who knew that was Atticus. He latter shows that tom did not do it because Mayella had bruises all on her right side. Only someone with a strong left hand could do that, but tom’s is not use able anymore.

    This story relates outside of “To Kill A Mockingbird” with an incident in 2006-2007. There was a fight in a school in Louisiana. Most people believed at the time that it was racily motivated, but once they leaned that it was only motivated by one side. What happen was that a grope of black kids jumped a white kid. What lead up to the fight was that some white students had made threats and put nooses in a tree for all to see.  The kids were charged with of aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery. Battery is an unlawful attack upon another person by beating or wounding, or by touching in an offensive manner. It latter turns out, that was also racily motivated.  They were latter charged with battery.  It shows that even in a modern world, things are still racily done.
