A historic plaque marks the location of Bryant’s Grocery, a Civil Rights site connected to the 1955 murder of Emmett Till, Aug. 19, 2013, in Greenwood, Mississippi. The African-American teenager was accused of flirting with the shopkeeper’s wife, who was white. Two nights later, he was abducted and brutally killed, serving as the catalyst for the American Civil Rights movement. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
