Emmett Till, a black teenager from Chicago, was brutally murdered in Mississippi, in the USA.

His death was one of the key events that energized the American civil rights movement.

An all-white jury acquitted the two white suspects.

Farhana Haider has been listening through interviews with some of Emmett's family, to tell the story of the young boy who became an icon in the struggle against racism in America.
