5 ESSENTIAL ANSWERS #4
What was behind the prejudice behind the white people and the black people?
The prejudice of the whites and blacks are similar to the prejudice of Germans and Jews. The whites are trying to stay the perfect race when suddenly all these colored people come to America. Whites try to solve that by making the colored slaves, but that only lead to the Civil War.
After the whites and blacks became “equal” whites are still mad.
Why was Emmett till’s death so important to the Civil Rights Movement?
5 ESSENTIAL ANSWERS #5 When Emmett Till was murdered,
the trial for the murderers was unfair because the jury was all
white. The death of a child is more shocking than the death of an adult, and many people were mad seeing the killers walk on by after they just
killed a boy.
