The story of Emmett Till through his mother’s eyes will finally be told
The story of the horrendous murder of Emmett Till through the eyes of his mother will finally come to fruition thanks to ABC, Will Smith and Jay-Z.

The story of the horrendous murder of Emmett Till through the eyes of his mother will finally come to fruition.
ABC announced that Mamie Till-Mobley will be the focus of the first season of Women of the Movement, a new anthology series that chronicles the civil rights movement “as told by the women behind it,” according to reports by Vulture. The series will be executive produced by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Will Smith.
Till-Mobley will tell the story of her son Emmett Till, who was 14 years old when he was kidnapped, beaten, shot in the head, and thrown into the Tallahatchie River by white men in Mississippi in 1955.
During his funeral, Till’s mother insisted on an open-casket so that the world could see the gravity of his attack through images of his mutilated body.
Till’s killers were acquitted by an all-white jury but his murder became a catalyst in the launch of the civil rights movement.
Till-Mobley proceeded to become a major face for civil-rights justice following her son’s death, devoting her life to the issue until her own passing in 2003.
Smith and Carter previously had the story in motion with HBO as a miniseries but the project was stalled at the network.
