Tonight (/Today), Mike Wiley, a professional actor based in Apex, North Carolina, brings us his play, DAR HE: THE LYNCHING OF EMMETT TILL. In 1955, a fourteen-year-old black youth from Chicago was murdered for allegedly whistling at a white woman when visiting Mississippi— where racial lines were not to be crossed. Just months after the trial, William Bradford Huie, a white journalist who wrote for Look Magazine published the confession of the men who killed Emmett Till, but were found NOT GUILTY by the court system. The incident officially set off the civil rights movement in America. Fifty years later, the Truth surrounding the murder of Emmett Till has yet to be found. The dramatic story stays relevant as similar hate crimes continue to occur in America to this day. Please welcome Mike Wiley as he presents DAR HE: THE LYNCHING OF EMMETT TILL. ###
