30th Anniversary Coverage by the Clarion-LedgerThe following articles
were published in the The Clarion-Ledger, a daily newspaper published
in Jackson, Mississippi. Their publication, all in a single issue, was
for the 30th anniversary of the Emmett Till Slaying. The articles were
published on August 25, 1985, pages 1A, 20A, 1H-3H. Very informative in
collecting recollections of those who were there. Each section is divided
and numbered with the original page numbers. EMMETT TILL: MORE THAN A MURDER "Slain Chicago youth was a ‘sacrificial lamb’" "Memories sketch various portraits of Emmett Till" "Bryant wants the past to 'stay dead'" "World watched drama unfold in rural county courtroom" "Poor economy, past haunts Delta towns" "Mississippi has come a long way since those dispirited days in 1955" |
