Website Spotlight: Emmett Till

Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/till/

The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:

I. The Film & More

"Primary Sources: Correspondence" is good.

II. Special Features--check these out especially

"Teens and Segregation: Chicago and Mississippi"
"Killers' Confession" in LOOK Magazine

III. Timeline

Skip this.

IV. People & Events

"Lynching in America"
"Sharecropping in Mississippi"
"Citizens' Councils"

V. Teacher's Guide

Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.
