Emmett's schooling august 31st 1951
1955 august 21 arrives in missisipi
August 24th visits a store and "whistles" and talks to 'Caroline Bryant'
Gets Lynched August 28th 1955
Gets kidnapped and beaten

September 3rd Emmett's funeral
Significance
Significant in Black Civil Rights
After Government saw Emmett's face they insisted on a closed casket
Emmett's Mother made it an open casket
Good outcome in a bad way
What could've been done better
Don't think anyone could've prevented the kidnapping
No one knew the Bryant's were coming for him
Were actually advised to get him out of town instead of beating him
Good or bad?
Good outcome in a bad way
Was it worth a single child's life to save 100,000's of lives
