Emmett Till's Funeral
Surrounded by family members and other mourners, an unidentified woman wipes tears from Emmett Till's mother Mamie Till (formerly Bradley, later Mobley, 1921 - 2003) at her son's funeral service at Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ, Chicago, Illinois, September 3, 1955. Till, a 14-year-old Black child, was brutally murdered and lynched by two white men, Roy Bryant and JW Milam, in a racist attack.
