Till Casket
FILE - In this July 10, 2009 file photo, the original glass-topped casket of lynching victim Emmett Till is seen rusting in a shack at the Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Ill., after it was found by investigators at the cemetery where four workers are accused of digging up bodies to resell plots. On Friday, Aug. 28, 2009, officials from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and members of Till's family are expected to announce the casket's donation to the museum's planned National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington when it opens in 2015.
