Tornado Alley (PROG)

Emmett Till was brutally slain in 1955. Now, a sign marking where his body was found is riddled with bullet holes.

I'm at the exact site where Emmett Till's body was found floating in the Tallahatchie River 61 years ago. The site marker is filled with bullet holes. Clear evidence that we've still got a long way to go.

Someone shot 30 holes in the Emmett Till memorial. The sentiment behind that is normal in politics.

The vandalism was “a low-risk outlet for racism.”
