Emmett Till Rally Flyer
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Flyer calling for 13 November 1955 rally at Cincinnati's Jones Tabernacle to protest the murder of Emmett Till, the African-American teenager killed by white men in Mississippi after he reportedly whistled at a white woman. His murder and the acquittal of his killers were catalysts for the civil rights movement. Flyer reads in part: ''…Their children's blood must not go the way of…Emmit Till…'' Rosa Parks would refuse to give up her seat on a bus only a few weeks after this rally. 6'' x 9'' flyer has light toning, else very good.
