- Emmett Louis "Bobo" Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was an African American boy from Chicago, Illinois, who was murdered at the age of 14 in Money, Mississippi, a small town in the state's Delta region, after reportedly whistling at a white woman. The murder of Emmett Till was noted as one of the leading events that motivated the American Civil Rights Movement. The main suspects were acquitted, but later admitted to the murder. Till's mother insisted on a public funeral service, with an open casket so as to show the world the brutality of the killing: Till had been beaten and an eye gouged out, before he was shot through the head and thrown into the Tallahatchie River with a 70-pound cotton gin fan tied to his body with barbed wire. His body was in the river for three days before it was discovered and retrieved by two fishermen. Till was buried in Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois. The murder case was officially reopened in May 2004; as part of the investigation, the body was exhumed in order to perform an autopsy. The body was reburied in a new casket, which is standard practice in cases of body exhumation, by the family in the same location later that week. In July 2009, while his gravesite appeared undisturbed, his original casket, in which his battered body was famously displayed years earlier, was found rusting in a run-down shack on the cemetery grounds. Emmett Till's family is donating the civil rights-era lynching victim's original casket to the Smithsonian Institution.

- Emmett Louis "Bobo" Till était un adolescent afro-américain de Chicago qui a été brutalement assassiné dans la région du delta du Mississippi aux États-Unis. Son meurtre fut l'un des principaux évènements qui ont amené à la création du Mouvement afro-américain des droits civiques. Les principaux suspects du crime, Roy Bryant et son demi-frère J.W. Milam furent acquittés. Ils avouèrent plus tard être les coupables du meurtre de l'adolescent.
- La madre di Till pretese per il figlio una cerimonia funebre pubblica, con la bara aperta, perché tutti potessero vedere come il ragazzo fosse stato torturato e assassinato: era stato picchiato, gli era stato cavato un occhio, gli avevano sparato e l'avevano infine gettato nel fiume Tallahatchie con legata al collo una pala di una ginnatrice (strumento usato per la lavorazione del cotone) come zavorra con del filo spinato. Il cadavere rimase nel fiume per tre giorni prima di essere scoperto e recuperato da due pescatori. Till è sepolto nel Burr Oak Cemetery ad Alsip, Illinois. L'inchiesta sul suo omicidio è stata ufficialmente riaperta nel maggio 2004, e nell'ambito delle indagini il corpo venne riesumato per poter eseguire un'autopsia. La salma venne quindi riseppellita dalla famiglia.
- Emmett Louis (Bobo) Till was een Afro-Amerikaanse tiener uit Chicago die het slachtoffer werd van een brute moord in de Mississippi-delta, dichtbij het stadje Drew in Sunflower County. Zijn dood vormde een katalysator voor de prille burgerrechtenbeweging in de Verenigde Staten.
- Emmett Louis "Bobo" Till, född 25 juli 1941 i Chicago, Illinois, död 28 augusti 1955 vid Tallahatchiefloden nära Money, Mississippi, var en fjortonårig afroamerikansk pojke från Chicago som mördades brutalt i Money, en liten stad i delstaten Mississippis deltaregion. Hans död har angetts vara en av huvudhändelserna som radikaliserade den växande medborgarrättsrörelsen i USA. De huvudmisstänkta släpptes, men erkände senare att de begått brottet. Modern insisterade på att begravningen skulle vara offentlig och med öppen kista, för att låta alla se hur brutalt han hade mördats. Han hade blivit skjuten, slagen och fått sitt öga utslitet innan han slängdes i Tallahatchiefloden med en 34 kilo tung del av en cotton gin-maskin, fäst i nacken med taggtråd. Hans kropp återfanns tre dagar senare av två fiskare. Tills kropp ligger idag begravd på Burr Oaks kyrkogård i Alsip, Illinois. Mordutredningen återupptogs officiellt i maj 2004, då kroppen grävdes upp för att man skulle kunna utföra en obduktion. Kroppen begravdes igen av familjen senare samma vecka.
