The murder of Emmett Till

"Till" is the new film about the 1955 murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till - a crime that helped spark the civil rights movement. The movie has opened to rave reviews, and got us thinking about the October 24, 2004 "60 Minutes" report on Emmett Till's death from our late colleague Ed Bradley. We wanted to share some excerpts of that award-winning story:

He was 14 years old when he was kidnapped, tortured and killed. The failure to punish anyone for the crime made headlines across the country and around the world, exposing the racial hatred and unequal justice of Blacks that was pervasive in the segregated South, where laws dictated where Blacks could eat and drink and where they could sleep.
