The mother of Emmett Till recounts the story of her life, her son's tragic death, and the dawn of the civil rights movement--with a foreword by the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. In August 1955, a fourteen-year-old African American, Emmett Till, was visiting family in Mississippi when he was kidnapped from his bed in the middle of the night by two white men and brutally murdered. His crime: allegedly whistling at a white woman in a convenience store. The killers were eventually acquitted. What followed altered the course of this country's history--and it was all set in motion by the sheer will, determination, and courage of Mamie Till-Mobley, whose actions galvanized the civil rights movement, leaving an indelible mark on our racial consciousness. Death of Innocence is an essential document in the annals of American civil rights history, and a painful yet beautiful account of a mother's ability to transform tragedy into boundless courage and hope. Praise for Death of Innocence "A testament to the power of the indestructible human spirit that] speaks as eloquently as the diary of Anne Frank."--The Washington Post Book World "With this important book, Mamie Till-Mobley] has helped ensure that the story of her son (and her own story) will not soon be forgotten. . . . A riveting account of a tragedy that upended her life and ultimately the Jim Crow system."--Chicago Tribune "The book will . . . inform or remind people of what a courageous figure for justice Mamie Till-Mobley] was and how important she and her son were to setting the stage for the modern-day civil rights movement."--The Detroit News "Poignant . . . In his mother's descriptions, Emmett becomes more than an icon; he becomes a living, breathing youngster--any mother's child."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Powerful . . . Mamie Till-Mobley's] courage transformed her loss into a moral compass for a nation."--Black Issues Book Review Robert F.

Pieces of Plastic When Biting
My dog spent 15 minutes and then the item started to break up. As the dog was biting, little pieces were showing in his tongue. I threw it away. My dog is a lab.

Great idea
These are a good idea, I use frozen pumpkin and frozen blueberries in a cup, then put it in the corn, for my dog to have, while I'm at work.

made of STONE
i think the concept is great but the execution of the product is lacking. This is not made of rubber, there is no dog I can imagine chewing this thing. It is basically a STONE and rock hard and has absolutely zero give. She tried to chew it for one second and immediately stopped - the only thing the dog can do is lick so that aspect was disappointing. However, the toy works, keeps her attention and she loves the treat so all in all - not bad.

My couch is safe!
Perfect for my lab mix, and my pointer mix was jealous so I immediately bought a second after they both wanted it. Keeps them both busy for well over 30 minutes.
