Greetings, Class Community.
We watched a documentary and discussed The Emmett Till Case of 1955. There are a few questions I would like you to consider and discuss in our digital class space.
Please respond to the following questions:
1. Do you recognize our discussions about the Black Belt South (presented by Prof. Marcus Bernard) being connected to the life, murder, and subsequent trial regarding Emmett Till? If so, what are those connections and how would you summarize the cause and effect relationship?
2. Do you recognize our discussions about the miscegenation and 'racial purity' being connected to the life, murder, and subsequent trial regarding Emmett Till? If so, what are those connections and how would you summarize the cause and effect relationship of those terms and this event?
3. How do you think 'new' technologies, such as the television, impacted the public reaction to the life, murder, and subsequent trial regarding Emmett Till? Please explain in a short paragraph of at least three sentences.
Dr. Hill
