lots of people's lives were changed by the story of emmett till, which we know because of mamie. so i feel like the two of them and really her are crucial figures in the of what happens to in the 20th century. so the names i'll i'll say would probably be little recognized. i think i play this game with myself called the six degrees of triumph our so tim howard was a surgeon at mount view hospital in mumbai in mississippi which was built a group called the knights table who had actually planned a nationwide slave revolt in 1860. and just to that civil war started right. so they would take a penny week and four years, collect it. and so they built the hospital. so most of a lot of people in the civil rights movement. you'll find out that they were in the mount bayou hospital, which was an all black town, was started by one of the enslaved people on, general lee's plantation. but he, graham howard, if mamie till was is is your choice to mamie till knows what happened to emmett till because tr howard housed black journalists who came down there to investigate with his own personal ar
