When Emmett Till's body was found in the Tallahatchie River on Aug. 31, 1955, he was so badly beaten that he could only be identified by his father's ring. A 75-pound cotton gin fan tied around his neck with barbed wire had kept him weighed down in the water in the three days since he was taken from his uncle's home.
