Want to show one more pic...
The 2nd pic at the top...Laura Nelson's son was accused of murder, but she took the blame. They found her not guilty...AND still killed her. They hung her AND her son off the bridge.
They had a few displays like this. I think the one that hit the visitors the hardest, was that Emmit Till display. They got a video showing where his body was found, and the actual people people who worked in the funeral home that prepped his body.
One of the ladies described IN DETAIL his injuries, and the state his mutilated was in...wow. This one white dude busted out "Oh God" b/c he couldn't believe how they killed him. Plus you can kinda see the older folks kinda reliving the news of his death all over again too.
I've read about Emmitt Till multiple times, but it's a whole different experience when you have people who there give their 1st hand account. When they explained why his mother opted to have an open casket, and how big of an impact it had on the civil rights movement.
Check it out man. Highly recommend it.
