Rw's @ The Library Black Civil Rights Era
For All The World To See
September of 1955, after the death of Emmett Till by White Supremacists in money, Mississippi, his mom, Mamie Till Bradley, distributed to newspapers and magazines a grim black- and white photo of her sons body.
Mainstream media rejected the photo as not appropriate for the public views, however Bradley was able to turn to Afro American periodicals for support. On asking why she did this, Bradley explained that by witnessing, with her own 2 eyes, the brutality of segregation, Americans would be more than likely to support the cause of Civil Rights.
" Let the world see what I've seen," was her honest reply. The publication of the photo changed the modern Civil Rights Movement, impelling a new generation of activists to join the great cause.
