                                                              make and watch because he is telling

                                                              that he can do nothing about it. The

                                                              story needs to be seen and told so he

                                                              has to do what he can to pay justice to

                                                              his nephew.


                                                              I have to say I have to give this man

                                                              many props for so many reasons. One

                                                              for allowing us to come into his mind

                                                              and hearing his thoughts of what
                                                              happened to his nephew Emmett.

                                                              Also for allowing other people such as

                                                              TaNisha to experience this story-

   This project is real dear and special                      telling journey with him.  I feel that

   because it is the story of Emmett Till                     takes a lot of courage and heart to

   which is told from the perspective of                      allow people to come into your life

   the Uncle who is Kevin Wilson, Jr. who                     with something so personal and dear
   is the director, writer and lead                           to your family. You have to remember

   producer of the project. He is truly a                     he is telling the story of his nephew

   gift from GOD to tell his nephew story                     who was brutally murdered in the

   and share it with the world. She                           South.

   enlightens us on that this has been a
   project in the making for years and                        We won't even get into the history of

   did not just start out as being made                       the story because that is what I advise

   for the film.                                              you to do after reading this article and

                                                              watching my interview on ExumMusic.

   He took this agonizing story which if                      Moving on TaNisha became involved
   you do not know about I think you                          in the project due to her relationship

   should read about it before you watch  she has acquired with the director

   the film.                                                  Kevin for years.
