abstract Money is an unincorporated Mississippi Delta community in Leflore County, Mississippi, United States, near Greenwood. It has a population of less than 100, down from around 400 in the 1950s when a cotton mill still operated in the community. It is on a railroad line and lies on the Tallahatchie River. The community is part of the Greenwood, Mississippi Micropolitan Statistical Area. Money became infamous as a symbol in the U.S. civil rights movement after Emmett Till, a 14-year-old native of Chicago, Illinois, was killed there while visiting relatives in August 1955. He reportedly made suggestive remarks or whistled at (accounts differ) Carolyn Bryant, a white woman working at her husband's store, Bryant's Grocery. Roy Bryant, husband of Carolyn, and his half-brother, J.W. Milam, were arrested for murdering Till, tried and speedily acquitted by an all-white jury. They confessed to the killings in an interview with William Bradford Huie in the January, 1956 issue of Look magazine. Till's mother insisted on an open casket funeral and allowed news photographs of the body to be published, raising nationwide awareness of lynching. Many southern historians suggest that the Emmett Till murder helped spark the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s by capturing national attention to injustice. G2
