Emmett Till memorial sign scarred by bullet holes

[Sumner 1868]

The sign marking the site where Emmett Till's body was found is now riddled with bullet holes.

The marker is in rural Tallahatchie County, two hours north of Jackson, Mississippi. CNN affiliate WJTV reported this week that the sign has more than 40 bullet holes in it.

The 14-year-old black teen was killed in Mississippi in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman. The memorial marks the site where his body was discovered in the Tallahatchie River.

Not his grave, but a historical marker.  Was most likely done to express a political opinion.

Emmett Till was a fourteen year old black boy brutally beaten, shot, and mangled in the 1950s for supposedly daring to whistle at a white woman.
