https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVKTx9YlKls Another story-driven track by the great Bob Dylan, this one is written about the deeply upsetting and disturbing events surrounding the death of the young boy, Emmett Till. Till, a 14-year-old African American, was killed on August 28, 1955, by two white men, after reportedly flirting with a white woman - the wife of one of his killers. In the song's lyrics Dylan recounts the murder in which Till is abducted from his grandfather's house and the following trial. The song disturbingly recalls how the innocent young boy was tortured and murdered by the racist thugs, yet they walked free due to the jury being made up by members of the KKK. The folk-protest song, when first aired on WGES Radio Chicago, led to thousands of phone calls to the station - such was the song's power. The lyrics are unsettling to say the least and stay with you long after the song has finished: 'they tortured him and did some things too evil to repeat. There were screaming sounds inside the barn, there was laughing sounds out on the street.' Haunting.
