Back then blacks were inferior to whites and had no right to flirt with or comment white women. Well Emmit Till was dared by his other African friends to go talk to the woman in the store. He went in, bought some candy, and as he walked out he told the woman at the cashier "by baby." She was so shocked and upset, she told her husband. Later, her husband and a group of others went to Emmits house, asked if he was there, then took him out of the house. We refer to Emmits punishment as lynching because a mad mob beet him then hung him. He was only 14 years old...
