“I thought of Emmett Till, and when the bus driver ordered me to move to the back, I just couldn’t move.” - Rosa Parks

TILL WE'RE FREE is the story of the murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till, whose death helped spark the Civil Rights Movement. Emmett was beaten and killed for whistling at a white woman in Mississippi in 1955. The two accused men, Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milliam, were acquitted of the murder, but later confessed to a reporter to kidnapping and killing Emmett Till -- but they didn't tell the whole truth.
