Turn The Tables Quotes

“He was an innocent Black boy in Mississippi
Minding his business, going to the store
He became a Civil Rights movement icon
Emmett Till’s spirit continues to roar

This 14-year-old boy was lynched
Because of a woman named Carolyn Bryant
Who said that he flirted and whistled at her
But it was a lie meant to help evil stir”
― Aida Mandic, Turn The Tables

“Rosa Parks immediately thought of Emmett Till when she was on the bus
She refused to get up when she remembered
what he went through
Evil will attack and say that you are helping to cause a fuss
That’s why you have to see that it’s trying to distract you from what’s true”
― Aida Mandic, Turn The Tables

“Let’s show lots of love for Emmett Till
And fight against bigotry, racism, and hate
Let’s show lots of love for Emmett Till
So humanity can have a better fate”
― Aida Mandic, Turn The Tables
