Yesterday it was announced that actor Jesse Williams would be making his directorial debut with a film about the lynching of 14-year-old Emmitt Till in 1955 Mississippi.
Jesse makes a grave mistake while trying to promote his new movie...
....by superimposing the Colin Kaepernick Nike ad slogan over actual pictures of Emmitt Till's mother grieving her son.
Chicago native Emmitt Till was kidnapped, tortured, killed and tossed into the Tallahatchie River after he was accused of whistling at a white woman while visiting his family for the summer in Money, MS in 1955.
After a huge backlash Jesse removed the images without comment.
