b'This week we go Back in Crime and look at the devastating, yet influential story of a 14 year old boy named Emmett Till. While visiting his uncle in Mississippi, Emmett was brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman, but his death sent shock waves through the nation. Find out how Emmett\'s mother took an unconventional but highly effective stance at her son\'s funeral and changed the face of U.S. history in the process.
