Mamie Till became an educator and activist in the Civil Rights Movement after the death of her son, Emmett, who was beaten severely and shot dead, then thrown into the Talahachee river with a 75 pound cotton gin fan tied around his neck by way of barb wired fencing by white supremacists for whistling at a white woman, Carolyn Bryant, while visiting his cousins in Money, Mississippi.
