'''Roy Bryant''' (January 24<sup>th</sup>, 1931 - September 1<sup>st</sup>, 1994) was one of the two people (the other being his half-brother [[J.W. Milam]]) who brutally [[lynching|lynched]] Emmett Till, a 14-year old African-American boy who allegedly "wolf-whistled" at his wife, [[Carolyn Bryant]], at a supermarket that they owned when he went to visit his relatives in Money, Mississippi. 

The lynching of Emmett Till was one of the first major [[hate crime]]s to gain visibility on a national level. Because of the murder, Emmett's story inspired many African-Americans to fight for their civil rights and thus it sparked the African-American Civil Rights Movement.
