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?
