Ep. 1795 - They Lied About Karmelo Anthony. What Else Have They Lied About?
"Emmett's father was named Louis Till. He enlisted in the Army during World War II to avoid going to prison for domestic violence, but Louis Till's behavior did not change overseas. He was court-martialed for the murder of an Allied civilian during the Italian campaign, as well as the rape of two pregnant Italian women. Ultimately, he was found guilty and hanged."
Walsh disclosed that Emmett Till's father, Louis Till, was court-martialed and executed in Italy during World War II for murdering an Allied civilian and raping two pregnant Italian women. He had enlisted to avoid domestic violence charges. Walsh argues this context, consistently omitted from civil rights education, provides relevant background when evaluating Carolyn Bryant's accusations against Emmett Till, though he acknowledges it does not prove the son's guilt.
