So help me God, until my dying day, Im going to be fighting this thing. Im not going to be fighting color. Im not going to be fighting creed. Im not going to be fighting anyones belief, so long as its a safe and sound one, so long as it doesnt reach out and destroy me or destroy someone else. . . . We should stand up, we should make a stand once and for all, we should say that were going to live as men and women. (Excerpt, Mamies 2nd speaking engagement in South Bend, IN, following the trial in Money, MS , OCT 1955--Hudson-Weems, Emmett Till: Sacrificial Lamb of the Civil Rights Movement, 1994, p. 240) The fervent prayers of Tills mother, Mamie Till Mobley, for everlasting justice and transcendent mercy have been finally answered through this gripping narrative by Dr. Clenora Hudson-Weems.
