Whenever I hear the name Jay-Z and Will Smith I assume news about a music collaboration will follow. When in usual fashion the superstars have way more up their sleeves. Jay and Will have come together to produce a HBO mini-series about the life of Emmett Till.
Till was brutally murdered in 1955 by racist savages, just because he allegedly whistles at a white woman. Till was only 14 years old. The death of Till still sparks outrage. The historical moment in time has never been told as a mini series. I am glad it is being produced by two highly respected African American celebrities. It looks like HBO is creating a new lane for African American content, first Bessie now the Emmett Till story.
Thank you HBO.
