Emmett Till's murder is one of the most harrowing events in American history. Till was 14 in 1955 when he was killed after a white woman accused him of making an advance toward her. Mississippi author Wright Thompson has a fresh account of the conspiring forces behind Till’s murder. Geoff Bennett sat down with Thompson to discuss his book, “The Barn: The Secret History of A Murder In Mississippi.”
