In episode 13 of 5 Minute Murder, we delve into the tragic and pivotal case of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American boy whose brutal murder in 1955 became a catalyst for the American Civil Rights Movement. In just around five minutes, we recount the events leading up to Till's horrific killing, the shocking aftermath, and how his death exposed the deep racial injustices of the time. Join us as we examine the lasting impact of this heartbreaking case on the fight for racial equality in the United States.
