What happened at Emmett Till's house?

Emmett Till was a 14-year-old African American boy who was brutally murdered in 1955 while visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi. He allegedly whistled at a white woman, Carolyn Bryant, which led to his abduction by two white men, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam. They tortured and killed him, disposing of his body in the Tallahatchie River. The subsequent trial of his murderers garnered national attention and became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement.
