Bryant's Store in Money, MS
This is all that remains of Bryant's Store in Money, MS.  Fourteen-year-old African-American Emmett Till was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered, for saying "Bye, baby" to Carolyn Bryant as he left this store in 1955.  Bryant, a white woman whose husband, Roy, owned the store, resides, to this day, in Greenville, MS.  After his acquittal Roy boasted publicly, and in print, about killing Till.
