Mamie Till-Mobley asked that her son, Emmett Till, be given an open casket funeral on September 6, 1955, so the world could see what his murderers had done.
On September 15, 1955, JET magazine featured an image of Emmett Till's open casket on its cover. The image drew revulsion towards the lynching from around the world.
