Went to see this Documentary “The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till” last night at the Bijou last night. If your like me and were born after the civil rights movement, you need to go and see this film. It can pretty much sum up every feeling of cruelty and hate and unreasonable bigotry that existed during that time of our countries history. It shows a justice system that doesnt work, much like our current one in relation to suspected ‘terrorists’. It’s scary actually at the world we could have been born into. We have lot’s of work left to do where equality and human rights go, in fact at one point while they were using a CNN clip about Emmett Till you can see the headline about the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal scroll across the screen. This film should be seen if for nothing else to remind us that there is unfounded hatred in this world and people are mistreated every day. You will feel sad, ashamed, and sorry for the human race. and that’s o.k.
sometimes we should be reminded of who we are and what we’ve done.
