Gas station tied to Emmett Till killing to be restored

Don't expect any of the 10,000,000 places that a white person was murdered by a black offender to ever be restored... Only when a piece of shit trouble maker like the shithead Emmett Till is murdered does tax dollars flow...

MONEY, Miss. -- The Mississippi Department of Archives and History is providing $152,000 to restore a gas station as part of the story of Emmett Till, a black 14-year-old from Chicago who was lynched for whistling at a white woman in 1955.

Ben Roy's Service Station stands next to what used to be Bryant's Grocery and Meat Market, owned by Carolyn Bryant -- the woman Till is said to have whistled at -- and her husband, Roy.

Several nights afterward, Roy Bryant and his half-brother, J.W. Milam, killed and mutilated Till. An all-white jury acquitted them of murder, but they later confessed to the crime in an article in Look Magazine.

The station will be restored as part of the Mississippi Civil Rights Historical Program, The Greenwood Commonwealth reported Sunday.
