          Louis Till

          American soldier, father of Emmett Till (1922–1945)

          Louis Till (February 7, 1922 – July 2, 1945) was an African AmericanGI during World War II.

          After enlisting in the United States Army following trial for domestic violence against his estranged wife Mamie Till, and having chosen military service over jail time, Till was court-martialed on two counts of rape and one count of murder during the Italian Campaign.

          He was found guilty and was executed by hanging at Aversa.[1] Till was the estranged father of Emmett Till, whose murder in August 1955 at the age of 14 galvanized the civil rights movement. The circumstances of Till's death remained largely unknown, until they were revealed after the highly controversial acquittal of his son's murderers 10 years later.

          Early life

          Till grew up an orphan in New Madrid, Missouri.[2]: 14–15  As a young man, he worked at the Argo Corn Company and was an amateur boxer.[3]
