Money, Mississippi







Ventured up to Greenwood the other day and made a detour while there to visit the town of Money, Miss., which is just north of there. It's claim to fame is this store that is slowly disappearing as Mother Nature keeps at it. It was at this location in the mid 50s that 14-year-old Emmett Till whistled at a white woman and was later killed for it. Some folks want to tear the store down. Others want to reconstruct it. It's a piece of Mississippi's civil rights history. I just wanted to take some photos of it. I wonder how many people pass by it and never realize what occurred there? It was rainy this day. Set the mood perfectly...
