00:00This was my boy, Emmett Till.
00:08I got a letter today from Auntie Lizzie.
00:10She said Bo's been working the fields.
00:13I can't imagine.
00:16Oh, he just doesn't understand how different things are in Mississippi.
00:19Are you listening?
00:21Yes.
00:22Be small down there.
00:25Like this?
00:28Emmett never thought anything would happen to him.
00:33Rawr!
00:33Meet the mummy, Simmy!
00:36Ow!
00:37He just wanted to go on vacation and have fun with his cousins.
00:41But if my son could just get his feet back onto the Chicago soil,
00:46he'd be one happy kid.
00:49I don't know why I said that.
00:58I wanna talk to you about that boy.
01:00They've come for you.
01:14It's hard to describe what a mother knows.
01:19The first thing I noticed when I became a mother was that my hands were busy.
01:24All the time.
01:26My hand knew him with my eyes closed.
01:29Just like I know his laughter in a crowded room.
01:32It's the same thing when you know all of someone.
01:40This was my boy.
01:43Emmett Till.
01:45The body of Emmett Lewis Till has been found dead.
01:50Can I at least just fix him up a bit?
01:52No.
01:53They have to see it for themselves.
01:56You tell me, Mamie.
01:57How is risking your life gonna help them?
02:01Those pictures of your son
02:03change people's lives.
02:05I can't look, Mamie.
02:08We have to.
02:12The lynching of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us,
02:16anywhere in the world,
02:19had better be the business of us all.
02:24Come to my son of my son that the son of my son is a worm against.
02:28I want to show you the permanence of us.
02:29Of course.
02:36We want to see so many people a less than a year or less than a school or two before.
02:44Grazie a tutti
