Question

Emmett Till was certainly not the first African American to be murdered in Mississippi for something as innocent as flirting with a man’s wife. Why do you suppose the nation became so interested in this incident, as opposed to those that had happened previously? Explain your answer as thoroughly as possible

Answer 1

It was a breaking point for this sort of thing

Step-by-step explanation:

Im going to compare this to the BLM movements, George Floyd was not the first Black person to be murdered by police brutality, but all the previous cases built up to this case and it was the breaking point. It's the same thing for this, Emmett Till was not the first but his case was the breaking point for stuff like that.

Hopefully this helps!
