Emmett Till's Blog (2)

A quote from an interview with my cousin

"Laws just changed. After the Emmett Till case, blacks, well, like the fear starting leaving, said, they're going to kill us anyway. When they found out that the casket was open here, they was in trouble. So they wanted to find out, why, who?" (Hudson-Weems, 138).

Dear Mom,

How is everybody? I hope you and Jean is fine. I hope you'll had a nice trip. I am having a fine time will be home next week. Please have my motor bike fixed for me (pay you back). If I get any mail put it up for me. I am going to see Uncle Crosby Saturday. Everybody here is fine and having a good time. Tell Aunt Alma hello. (out of money)

Your son
