You may know the story of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old boy who was brutally beaten and murdered in Mississippi. But you might've never heard his story if it weren't for one woman: Mamie Till-Mobley. In this three-part season of Reclaimed, we explore who Mamie Till-Mobley was before she lost her son: a young girl growing up in Illinois. We trace her journey after Emmett's death, and how she turned her grief into a movement that changed the course of American history. "Reclaimed: The Story of Mamie Till-Mobley" is a companion podcast to the ABC News docuseries "Let the World See," now streaming on Hulu. Learn more about your ad choices.
