John Lewis, D. Ga., in the House of Representatives and Sen. Chris Dodd, D. Conn., in the Senate, passed in the House in the summer of 2007, but stalled in the Senate due to one senator\u2019s protests. It was finally passed unanimously in the Senate on Sept. 24, 2008.<br><br>\u201cToday\u2019s enactment of the Emmett Till bill is long overdue. While this legislation cannot change the past or heal the wounds caused by senseless crimes of racial hatred, it can help restore faith in our justice system,\u201d said Sen. Dodd, in a statement after the signing.<br><br>The law directs the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute individuals involved in criminal civil rights violations that occurred before January 1, 1970 and resulted in the victim\u2019s death.<br><br>It also provides $10 million a year over the next 10 years to help agencies like the FBI to re-examine unsolved cases from the civil rights era. The FBI launched a civil rights-era cold case program in February of 2007, but to date, the program is unfunded and no cases have been prosecuted.<br><br>The bill is named after Emmett Louis \u201cBobo\u201d Till, a 14-year-old Black boy who was murdered in Money, Mississippi in 1955.<br><br>Till, originally from Chicago, was accused of whistling at a White woman in a general store while visiting his uncle in the small Delta town. Although the husband and brother-in-law of the woman later admitted to beating, shooting and ultimately throwing the boy into a river, the two men were acquitted by a White jury and no one has been convicted in his death.<br><br>Till\u2019s murder was considered to be a powerful catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement.<br><br>Karen Tanenbaum, civilrights.org</i><br><br>Ummmm, I wonder what took him so long??

John Lewis, D. Ga., in the House of Representatives and Sen. Chris Dodd, D. Conn., in the Senate, passed in the House in the summer of 2007, but stalled in the Senate due to one senator’s protests. It was finally passed unanimously in the Senate on Sept. 24, 2008.<br><br>“Today’s enactment of the Emmett Till bill is long overdue. While this legislation cannot change the past or heal the wounds caused by senseless crimes of racial hatred, it can help restore faith in our justice system,” said Sen. Dodd, in a statement after the signing.<br><br>The law directs the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute individuals involved in criminal civil rights violations that occurred before January 1, 1970 and resulted in the victim’s death.<br><br>It also provides $10 million a year over the next 10 years to help agencies like the FBI to re-examine unsolved cases from the civil rights era. The FBI launched a civil rights-era cold case program in February of 2007, but to date, the program is unfunded and no cases have been prosecuted.<br><br>The bill is named after Emmett Louis “Bobo” Till, a 14-year-old Black boy who was murdered in Money, Mississippi in 1955.<br><br>Till, originally from Chicago, was accused of whistling at a White woman in a general store while visiting his uncle in the small Delta town. Although the husband and brother-in-law of the woman later admitted to beating, shooting and ultimately throwing the boy into a river, the two men were acquitted by a White jury and no one has been convicted in his death.<br><br>Till’s murder was considered to be a powerful catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement.<br><br>Karen Tanenbaum, civilrights.org</i><br><br>Ummmm, I wonder what took him so long??  OTOH, WHO will they be looking for in the E.T. case - 1955??<br><br>O.K. I guess that this is called a wise expenditure of tax-payers\' money -  $100M over the next 10 years to do a re-enactment of the popular series   -  <b>"COLD CASE!"</b><br><br>Whew!

He was pandering to the bigots by telling people that the civil and human rights of black folks was something no one needed to care about any more.<br><br>Bush, Dubya and now McCain have continued blowing that dog whistle throughout nearly 30 years.  Now McSame has a stab of remorse for telling Palin to go after Obama, <i>knowing he was blowing that dog whistle louder than ever?</i>  Critics objected to the dangerous lynch mob atmosphere.  However, you should have heard the video from the outbacks of Wisconsin, with men saying that they were mad that the country was going to turn <i>socialist</i> because of Obama\'s ascendancy, especially that black wingnut knucklehead who pled with McSame to go after Obama.<br><br>This whole thing makes me think of how Louis Farrakhan (and many other surrogates in the NOI) kept making hate speeches against Malcolm X and fomenting incidents like the bombing of his house in Queens.  Each incident, each speech raised the ante, until Malcolm himself was shot.<br><br>McSame and Palin are too close to whipping up people to take literal shots at Obama.  I hope the Secret Service are doing their jobs.  They\'d better be, before and after the election.</div>\
