Column: Impact of Emmett Till’s murder is focus of exhibit

“The Impact of Images” at Riverside’s California Museum of Photography is devoted to Emmett Till’s 1955 lynching, his mother’s decision to have an open casket so the world could see her son’s mutilated face and the trial of his killers, who were acquitted but later bragged about their deed. It’s a powerful exhibit, and free. It’s the subject of my grim Sunday column.
