Which statement best describes how the background on Emmett Till's life help us understand the impact of his murder?

D. Because of his upbringing, he did not act how white southerners expected blacks to act, so his murderers singled him out as a sign of unwanted racial progress.

Explanation:

Emmett Till, a 14 years old boy was killed in the summer of 1955 Mississippi , in when he went to visit his uncle Mose Wright. His growth in Chicago, in a predominantly black neighborhood made him unaware of how deep racial prejudice was.

He had confidence that he was as good as the whites and that made Bob Bryant and his friends more furious at him. They were not happy that he could confidently challenge them and this resulted in his brutal murder.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
