The Till trial at Sumner
Tallahatchie County Courthouse, Sumner

An all-white jury acquitted both men in sixty-seven minutes, one juror saying it would not have taken that long if they had not stopped for a soft drink. Black reporters were seated at a card table apart from the press. Months later the two sold their confession to Look magazine for four thousand dollars. The county formally apologised to the family in this room in 2007.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
