Emmett Till’s body had been found in Mississippi.
When I found out that Emmett had been discovered, we got ourselves together, held ourselves in check a little while and started making these other calls back to Mississippi.
The sheriff at Money had ordered my uncle Mose to immediately bury that body.
They herded it away to the cemetery…
By the time he (Mose) got there, the funeral had been preached and two men were digging a grave to bury my son’s body.
But my uncle had the presence of mind to call a white undertaker and ask him if he would handle that body, embalm it and fix it for shipment.
