HAPPY 74TH BIRTHDAY! EMMETT TILL (JULY 25, 1941 TO AUGUST 28, 1955)



            We, the comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, wishes Emmett Till a happy 74th birthday, he was born on July 25, 1941. We will remember him every year on that date, June 14 and also on August 28. Let us remember how he lived on this earth.
