I’m almost done watching Till. Taking a short mental health break because this is tough. RIP Barbara Walters who was 12 years older than Emmett Till and the same age as Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr. Only one of them got to live a long life…..

Barbara Walters was amazing. She really should be an icon for every woman because she did break that glass ceiling long ago. I know she was a hero to me

None of my heroes ever got mad for somebody trying to expose all the pedophiles in Hollywood. Odd choice.

I think about Emmitt Till various times throughout the year. Angers and saddened me every time. I haven't watched Till yet but hearing about the movie a few years ago made me realize how little I knew about Mamie Till-Mobley at the time. From the open casket to becoming an activist after having her child stolen from her.

I'll have to watch the movie sometime even though it will likely piss me off.

Whoa. That’s some perspective right there. Thanks for providing me “the most interesting thing I learned today”.
