Some Famous People called Louis Till
Louis Till
Louis Till (February 7, 1922 – July 2, 1945) was an American soldier. He was the father of Emmett Till, whose murder in August 1955 at the age of 14 galvanized the Civil rights movement. A soldier during World War II, Louis Till was executed by the U.S. Army in 1945 after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two white women and murdering a third. The circumstances of his death were little known even to his family until they were revealed after the trial of his son's murderer ten years later, which affected subsequent discourse on the murder of Emmett Till. Novelist and essayist John Edgar Wideman suggests Louis Till's conviction and punishment is questionable, presenting the viewpoint it may have been racially motivated and used as propaganda to justify his son's murder.
