Source 8: Quote by Mamie Till-Mobley on why she chose to have an open-casket funeral (2003)

"There were so many people there. So many people who had known Emmett, so many more people who would come to know him only like this... On the one hand, as a mother, I couldn’t bear the thought of people being horrified by the sight of my son. He had always been such a fine young boy and I was so very proud of him. But, on the other hand, I felt that the alternative was even worse. After all, we had averted our eyes far too long, turning away from the ugly reality facing us as a nation... People had to face my son and realize just how twisted, how distorted, how terrifying, race hatred could be."

Based on Source 8, why was Mamie Till-Mobley's decision to pursue nonviolence through media coverage such an important moment for the Civil Rights Movement?

Source 9: Joyce Ladner, Excerpt from Keynote Speech at SNCC Conference (2000)

"Ours was the Emmett Till generation. No other single incident had a more profound impact on so many people who came into SNCC. We had seen the JET magazine cover of Emmett Till’s disfigured and bloated face with one eye missing. It was just an awful picture... We were his age and could identify with him. I felt that if they had killed a fourteen-year-old, they could also kill me or my brothers. We knew that men were lynched, but we’d never known of a child being lynched before. On a profound, personal level, this reality had a strong, galvanizing effect on all of us. The image is with me still. It became etched in my generation’s consciousness."

Freedom riders
The CORE Freedom RidesInitiated by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Freedom Rides involved a group of racially diverse college students, including seven blacks and six whites, who rode public transportation buses from Washington, DC, to New Orleans, Louisiana. 
Their purpose was to challenge Jim Crow laws and test compliance to the 1906 Supreme Court ruling in Boynton v. Virginia where segregated transportation facilities were deemed unconstitutional. 
From South Carolina and further South, riders faced extreme resistance. 
They were beaten and their buses were even firebombed. 

Much of the violence occurred due to the lack of local and state police protection.
