In 1955, Emmett Till was tortured and murdered by white supremacists.
His mother, in what must have been a heart-rending decision, had an open casket funeral to show what they had done to her child.
The picture showing what was done to him galvanized a nation.
I am not including this picture here, because it is truly horrible, but you can see it here.
I beg the relatives of the latest shootings to distribute the photographs of the shootings as much as possible, because it is clear that until people actually see what is happening, and I mean the blood, the mutilation, and the mayhem, nothing will change.
An anodyne list of names, with equally anodyne pictures of the victims at graduations, weddings, etc. will not suffice.
We have to rub the American Public’s nose in this.
