Author and historian Devery Anderson will discuss his book Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement (2015), and its continuing impact. A Wall Street Journal review describes the book as “masterfully researched, drawing on public archives and collections to present the most detailed account of this horrific story” of the abduction and brutal murder of the 14-year-old Till in 1955.
