Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Concept: In $1955$, two white men brutally murdered African American teenager Emmett Till for reportedly flirting with a white woman in the town of Money, Mississippi.

Till's mother Mamie held an open-casket funeral so that the world could see the violence that murderous racists had inflicted on her son's body. The funeral drew over $100,000$ mourners.

Till's murderers stood trial one month later, in a case that received a great deal of media attention across the United States and the world. Both men were acquitted.

Till's death, and the acquittal of his murderers, laid bare the savagery of racism in the United States and served as an inspiration to a generation of civil rights activists.

A) Some white people believed the country had moved past racism to a more equal society.

B) Some white people felt powerless to stop the racist violence in their communities.

C) Some white people felt it was their right to control Black people through violence.
