The signigicance of this event is that a little boy was murderd for whistling at a white women. Many people will say that is the most stupid reason to kill anyone. Despite the fact that he was just a kid, he was not from around thier, there for he did not know any better. Even though people did not know him it made lots of people mad because he was a young boy. His mom had a open casket to show how bad the racism has gotton. So many people got mad because he was so brutaly beatin for a dumb cause. They were also mad because the two men who did it got away with it.

On a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) how great of an impact do you think this event had on the Civil Rights Movement? (Explain your reasoning in 4-5 sentences) (8 pts)

8 I think this because if you were to see that in the paper, even back then, it would look dumb. A whistle should not end someones life. A young boy from chicago doesnt know any better. He was brutily beaten for whistling at a white women. Im sure every one can agree that, that is a stupid reason
