Robert A. Caro Quote

Emmett Till’s murder instilled in Anne Moody, a fourteen-year-old black girl from Alabama, the fear of being killed just because I was black. It was the senselessness of the murder of the fourteen-year-old boy that she couldn’t get out of her mind, she was to say. I didn’t know what one had to do or not do as a Negro not to be killed. Probably just being a Negro period was enough, I thought.
