Women of the Movement

The horrific murder of 14 year old Emmett Till and his Mom's reaction to it left indelible memories on the hearts and minds of two 12 year olds who eventually became my parents. I watched the two episodes of "Women of the Movement" with them. And, after all these decades later, they informed me the anger and sadness produced by the murder are still felt but also the tremendous pride and inspiration felt for Ms. Mamie's actions to right the awful wrong.

Very well done I saw the fist episode I can't continue to watch it because it broke my heart. Hopefully those men are in hell getting tortured for eternity.

I am 100% embarrassed to say, that I had never heard of Emmett Till until 1/20/22. And that makes me 35 years old. My fiancé, who is away for a few months, mentioned it to me. I said “WHO”?!?! Then I googled….absolutely horrific and disgusting! I have watched 4 episodes already. And am ashamed of the way society used to be!! Really kind of makes me ashamed to be “white”. I’d much rather be not white! The show is awesome! Even though, I would love nothing more than to jump through that screen (aka, time travel back to this time period), and just start punching all of those idiots in the face!
