Is he still just another N-word? Emmett Louis Till was black, 14 and way down south in the land of Bubba when he whistled at a white wommun. What came back north in a box was barely recognizable as a human being. The self-confessed murderers were declared not guilty by a jury of their toothless redneck peers, and apart from a song by Bob Dylan, that was it for Emmett Till.
That is, until work began on work began on the documentary, The Untold Story of Emmett Lois Till. Suddenly everybody wanted justice. Almost everybody. The Feds took up the investigation in 2004, and this March sent the findings back to the DA in Mississippi.

And, so far, that is it for Emmett Till. Any bets he's not no N-word no more, down in the lan' O cotton?
