"Emmett Till dan saya kira-kira seusia. Seminggu setelah dia dibunuh ... Saya berdiri di sudut bersama sekelompok anak laki-laki, memandangi foto-fotonya di koran dan majalah hitam. Dalam satu, dia tertawa dan bahagia. Di sisi lain, kepalanya bengkak dan terbentur masuk, matanya melotot keluar dari rongganya, dan mulutnya bengkok dan patah ... Aku tidak bisa mengeluarkan Emmett sampai keluar dari pikiranku, sampai suatu malam aku memikirkan cara untuk kembali pada orang kulit putih untuk kematiannya."

--- Muhammad Ali

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Emmett Till and I were about the same age. A week after he was murdered... I stood on a corner with a gang of boys, looking at pictures of him in the black newspapers and magazines. In one, he was laughing and happy. In the other, his head was swollen and bashed in, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, and his mouth twisted and broken... I couldn't get Emmett Till out of my mind, until one evening I thought of a way to get back at white people for his death.
