In the process of writing my Brooks WE, I stumbled on some other creative pieces about the murder of Emmett Till…
Audre Lorde wrote a poem for Till entitled “Afterimages.”
Langston Hughes wrote two poems for Emmett Till, one of which was intended to be a blues song.
(THE) Dylan wrote a song entitled “The Murder of Emmett Till.” This is a photomontage of Emmett’s life, set to Dylan’s song:
James Baldwin wrote a play entitled “Blues for Mr. Charlie” that was loosely based on the Till murder.
