Warrant For Arrest Of Emmett Till Accuser Discovered, Family Seeks Arrest
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty The lynching of Emmett Till happened nearly 70 years ago and still serves as a stark reminder of racism Black Americans faced then and in current times. An investigative team recently discovered an arrest warrant for the slain boy’s accuser and the family is seeking an arrest.

Vince Staples Joins Reboots of White Men Can’t Jump and The Wood
Having already brought back the coming-of-age rap record on Summertime ’06 and house music on Big Fish Theory, Vince Staples is ready to save the ’90s buddy comedy.
