Emmett Till's cousin visits grave of Till's father in new series
ABC News
In the ABC News documentary series "Let the World See," Emmett Till's cousin, Ollie Gordon, visits the grave of Till's father, Louis Till.
While most people know the story of Emmett Till's brutal murder, the death of his father, Louis Till, is much less well-known.
"Louis died before he could see what would happen to his son. Bo died before he could learn about what had happened to his father," Emmett's mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, wrote in her memoir, using a nickname for her son.
"Yet they were connected in ways that ran as deep as their heritage, as long as their bloodline," she added. "I was left behind to think about all the ways they were connected."
The final episode of the ABC documentary series "Let the World See," airs Thursday, Jan. 20 on ABC and Hulu. The episode details the legacy of Till-Mobley's fight for justice and the FBI's later investigations of Till's death, the latest of which was closed in December without any additional charges.
