Reviews of Graball Landing - Emmett Till River Marker 2
"The Civil Rights Trail was very informative."
"There is a long winding drive down a gravel road to get to the marker. It is worth the drive. The landing has no markings other than the sign."
"My fiancé and I went here during the 4th of July holiday, and let me just say it was truly a mind blowing experience for the both of us, and one I will never forget. It hurt my heart to imagine what that young boy went through and how he was killed. Definitely a place to visit if you’re all about history. Certainly a destination that I can cross off my bucket list."
"The historic marker placed here has been vandalized with gunfire and will be replaced shortly. Nevertheless, this location is a powerful reminder of what is possible when hateful people follow their darkest instincts and also when others choose to respond to that hate with love and grace. This is the documented location where Emmett Till's body was discovered on August 31, 1955 near the Little Tallahatchie River three days after he was abducted, tortured and murdered by Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam. Bryant and Milam dumped Emmett Till's body into a bayou weighted down with a cotton gin fan tied around his neck with barbed wire. Emmett Till's death was reported in many publications and helped push the Civil Rights Movement into its next phase in the 1950's."
