- ?What do you learn about the Ku Klux Klan in the film? When we saw the Ku Klux Klan in the movie, we learned how reality was back in time.

Emmet Till was a 14-year-old African-American. The day before Til left his home in Chicago to Mississippi, his mother gave him his late father's signature ring, engraved with the initials "LT" On August 24, 1955, Emmett Till entered Bryant's grocery store. Inside the store, there was a white woman whom Emmett was either flirting with or touching her hand (you don't know exactly what happened). The wife of the owner was Carolyn Bryant and she thought he offended the white woman who was her daughter. Four days later, about 1 p.m. 2:30 p.m., Roy Bryant, Carolyn's husband and his half-brother J.W. Milam kidnapped Till from Moses Wright's home. They then brutally beat the teen, dragged him to the banks of the Tallahatchie River, shot him in the head, tied him with barbed wire to a large metal fan and pushed his mutilated body into the water. Moses Wright reported Til's disappearance to local authorities and three days later his body was pulled from the river. Til's face was mutilated without recognition, and Wright only managed to identify him positively by the ring on his finger, engraved with his father's initials - "LT" - After watching the film and learning something about KKK, do you then think that the film is realistic? Why/why not? Yes, I think the film is realistic because If it was a white man who had shot 2 men because they had raped his daughter, there probably wouldn't have been any case out of it. But because it was a black man, he had to fight for his case.
