A quote from an interview with my cousin

[Emmett Till]

"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).
