Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Holiday Celebration - The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till: Film and Lecture

Keith Beauchamp is a filmmaker whose documentary on the murder of Emmett Till was recently featured on "60 Minutes." He traveled extensively between New York and Mississippi to reinvestigate the murder and subsequent trial, locating witnesses who had never before spoken about the case. On May 10th, 2004, the U.S. Department of Justice re-opened this 50 year-old murder case citing Beauchamp's documentary "The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till" as a major factor in their decision as well as the starting point for their investigation. Keith Beauchamp will provide opening remarks and lead a discussion following the showing of the 70-minute documentary.
