On Thursday, what would have been the 78th birthday of Emmett Till — the 14-year-old black boy who was lynched in Mississippi after being accused of offending a white woman — a photo surfaced showing three young white men posing with guns in front of his bullet-ridden memorial. All three students were members of the Kappa Alpha fraternity, which suspended them after learning about the photo, according to a statement from the Kappa Alpha Order.
