Exclusive: Emmett Till's casket left to waste at Burr Oak Cemetery debacle grows worse with discovery of coffin of civil rights icon Comments July 10, 2009 BY MARY MITCHELL Sun-Times Columnist Broken. Rusted. Battered. The image of a glass-covered casket with the body of Emmett Till was shown around the world in the 1950s. But on Thursday, as hundreds of African Americans searched frantically for the graves of love ones, the battered casket of Till was rusting in the back of a shack at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip. The casket was surrounded by garbage and discarded headstones strewn about like litter. » Click to enlarge image The original coffin that had contained Emmett Louis Till (inset) was found at Burr Oak Cemetery Thursday in an old work area.

Cemetery workers had been cooperative and informed law enforcement officials that it was indeed Till's original casket. "It sure looks like all of the photos I have ever seen," Dart said. "This is absolutely horrible." In June 2005, Till's body was exhumed during an investigation of his death. As is customary, he was not reburied in the same casket. The original casket was supposed to be part of a planned memorial for Till at Burr Oak Cemetery, but the donations for that memorial were allegedly pocketed by a woman who has been charged in this ghoulish scheme. Till, 14, was kidnapped and murdered after he whistled at a white woman in 1955 in Mississippi. The lynching of the Chicago youth helped spark the civil rights movement. A picture of his severely mutilated face was shown around the world. His original casket is symbolic of the condition of the battered condition of the cemetery. Officers raided the cemetery at 4400 W. 127Th St. in Alsip on Wednesday morning. Four people, including Carolyn Towns -- the woman who was supposed to set up the Till memorial -- were charged with one count of dismemberment of a human body. The other charged employees were Keith Nicks, 45; Terrence Nicks, 39, and Maurice Dailey, 59. Throughout the day, Cook County sheriff's deputies ferried anxious family members to grave sites in buses ordinarily used to take inmates to Cook County Jail. The landscape in some sections of the cemetery was dotted with orange utility flags that some people mistakenly thought indicated desecrated graves. But beyond the grassy areas at Burr Oak, hidden by a wall of high weeds and buried under mounds of dirt, is the nightmare that all of these African Americans were praying they were spared. The Cook County sheriff's office now estimates that about 300 bodies were dumped in the rear of Burr Oak, in an area that is about the size of three football fields.
