In 1955 a 14 year old black Chicago youth traveled to the Mississippi Delta with country kinfolk and good southern meals on his mind. He walked off the train and into a world he could never understand. A world of thick color lines, of hard held class systems and unspeakable taboos. Young Emmett crossed the line and stepped into his gruesome fate by whistling at a white woman. This play chronicles the murder, trial and unbelievable confession of the men accused of Till’s lynching. 50 years later questions still remain. 50 years later and no one has been convicted. Grades 7-12.
