Till V. Simpson
Leftists are going to mark Jan 6th 2020 along with August 28, 1955 as days of memorial, where moving speeches are made and eternal meaning found.
"So are you implying that Emmett Till got what he deserved"
No, but this is one lynching of some 6,500 so why does it get all the attention and why is it especially relevant 70 years after the fact? A small and diminishing fraction of our population who were adults in 1955 are alive today.
"and we shouldn't memorialize, or try to learn anything from, this horrific crime and the miscarriage of justice that let the murderers be found not guilty?"
If we annually memorialized and tried to learn from every horrific crime in the last 70 years, that would fill every waking hour of every day. Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman's murderer walked free much more recently than the killers of Emmett Till, yet where is the effort to memorialize, or try to learn anything from, this horrific crime and the miscarriage of justice that let the murderer be found not guilty?

A Very Canada Thing:

The British need a massive intervention to cure their drinking problem.
I'm Canadian and I like British folks but wow.
I was on a business trip to Vancouver BC and the return to Boston was via Las Vegas. About 30 minutes before we got to Vegas, the pilot came on the PA and announced that the bar was closed: He noted that the passengers hadn't misbehaved, they partied but never got belligerent. They had drunk the plane dry: There was literally no alcohol left on the plane. I've flown hundreds of times and that was the only time this has happened.
