18 янв 1955 г. - 1955: The murder of Emmet Till (Emmet Till was a 14-year-old African American boy who was visiting his family in Mississippi. He was shot dead by two white men after supposedly making remarks and wolf whistling a white woman. The case garnered a great deal of media attention, showing that events such as this were becoming rarer and that public opinion was changing. However, the fact that neither of the accused were found guilty by the all white jury showed the lack of justice in the south.) (Лента времени)
