TALLAHATCHIE COUNTY, Miss., Oct. 24 (UPI) -- The historical sign where Emmett Till's body was found in Mississippi in 1955 was found riddled with bullet holes, the latest act of vandalism committed against the sign, though funds have already been raised through an online effort to replace the defaced marker.
A fundraiser to replace the pockmarked, disrespected sign hit its $15,000 goal Sunday afternoon, so the sign can be replaced -- again -- to mark the place Emmett Till's body was found in the Tallahatchie River.
