http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8QXNyCvDP4Fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was visiting relatives in

Money, Mississippi, on August 24, 1955, when he reportedly flirted with a white cashier at a grocery store. Four days later, two white men kidnapped Till, beat him and shot him in the head. The men were tried for murder, but an all-white, male jury acquitted them.

Till's murder and open casket funeral galvanized the emerging Civil Rights Movement.
