Emmett Louis Till July 25 , 1941 August 28 , 1955 was an AfricanAmerican teenager who was lynched in Mississippi at the age of 14 after reportedly flirting with a white woman . In later interviews , the jurors acknowledged that they knew Bryant and Milam were guilty , but simply did not believe life imprisonment or the death penalty fit punishment for whites who had killed a black man . ladies and gentlemen , America . Emmett till would have been 75 years old today . <| sep |> still taps it to see how hot it is <| sep |> It depends on if you ' re into Disney stuff , really . Well technically this also covers everything Marvel and Star Wars . So I ' m definitely interested . Are these two franchises featured prominently in Disney Land ?
