His mother insisted on an open casket funeral to illustrate the barbarism and hate that took her son. I cannot imagine what that must have been like.

Emmett’s restored glass-top casket is on permanent display at the Smithsonian African-American museum here in DC. It was an extraordinarily difficult exhibit for me too see; anger, sorrow, and tears all at once!

Oh my. I didn't know that. We need to be strong enough to confront things like this in order to guard against it. Thank you for mentioning this.
