  • Visiting The Gravesites of Emmett Till & Dinah Washington at Burr Oak Cemetery in Chicago
    This was an experience, I’m a huge fan of Dinah Washington’s music. However, I never knew Emmett Till was buried in the same cemetery. This was something I’ll never forget

    It makes me cry to hear that even today you say you are scared of something like this. I am a old white man. I grew up in the early 60's and I still to this very day remember those days. It hurt me back then even as a small child hearing and seeing stuff like this that went on in the south. I grew up in Arkansas and I seen these kind of problem go on much longer than anyone else in other states did. I hear the name calling, I seen the segregation and even as a small child I knew in my soul this wasn't right. It is a shame that a man as young as you are still has to worry more less still has to fear anything even close to being scared of something like that. It scares me to even thing that nothing has changed? If you still have to fear of traveling in the US for something like this, has it really changed that much? If you still have this fear of being harmed because of the color of your skin then it is time to start again seeking that change. A young man such as yourself should not have to know what that kind of fear still is.

      We need to re-examine the use of “because of the color of your skin” term. First it’s not the color of one’s skin that specific hater response to but what the victim represents to the perpetrator. People from India have dark and brown skin, so do people from Bagladash, Yemen and other countries. The people who are the subject of terrorism are African American descendants of the enslaved people brought to this country, PERIOD!!!

How could that lady that lied live with herself all those years especially when her own cousin admitted nothing happened.

It s just a figment of our imagination. Danger is real. And you're WISE to understand that what to Emmett means it can happen to anybody. But we still have to walk with no fear, and do what is good and right for ALL. xo I love you, son.
