Only a roadside sign next to a towering magnolia tree tells the story of what happened in this tiny community on the evening of Aug. 24, 1955, when Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black boy from Chicago, went to Bryant’s Grocery & Meat Market to buy some candy and then whistled outside at the white woman working behind the counter. Four days later, he was abducted and lynched.
