King Jr. To Prominence

Nationwide (March 9, 2011) -- The Ghost Of Emmett Till: Based On Real Life
Events, A Civil Rights Primer by W. James Richardson explores the
significant impact that 14-year-old Emmett Louis Till's death had in regard
to the modern-day Civil Rights Movement, which makes this novel suitable for
secondary and college students, as well as adults.
A good number of individuals aren't aware that Till's death so outraged
citizens throughout the United States that it culminated into over 50,000
people viewing his gruesomely deformed body in his hometown of Chicago in
1955 after he allegedly whistled at a white woman in Mississippi while there
on vacation; and was brutally murdered for the deed.
Many don't know that Rosa Parks garnered her courage to not vacate her seat
on the Montgomery, Alabama bus because she was staunchly angry about Emmett
Till's murder three months earlier. And it's conceivable that Rosa Parks and
Martin Luther King Jr. would not have risen to prominence relative to the
civil rights movement if it had not been for the execution of Emmett Till.
The Ghost Of Emmett Till explores these suppositions and edifyingly
associates Till's death to the Montgomery bus boycott, student sit-ins
demonstrations, and the courageous efforts of the Freedom Riders during the
civil rights era. Hence, W. James Richardson's novel presents as a civil
rights primer while it also entertains.
