- Emmett Till's mother, Mamie Till Mobley, originally from the Tallahatchie County area in Mississippi where Money is located in the Delta region, sent Emmett to spend the summer of 1955 with his great-uncle Mose Wright who was a cotton sharecropper.

- Milam, invaded the home of Mose Wright, dragged Emmett from the house while holding off the Wright family at gunpoint. Over the next few hours, these two sons of the South behaved worse than animals--actually, just like barbaric savages: they flogged Emmett, drove him to a place near the Tallahatchie River, forced him to strip naked, gouged out his eye, shot him in the head, and then tied his mutilated dead body to a cotton gin fan stone with barbed wire and disposed of his body in the water. Three days later on August 31, Emmett's body was found floating near the bank of the river.
