"how does background on emmett till's life us understand the impact of his murder? "

Emmett Till was a helpful, respectful, and important member of his community, despite his young age.

He was a survivor, having survived a bout of polio. He was respectful and helpful, taking over responsibilities at home while his mom was at work. He was well-liked at school and known for having a great sense of humor. He loved his family and made time for them (even planning the trip that led to his death).

Knowing his background highlights the impact of his murder; this boy was a promising member of his community. The loss of his life, especially given the horrific circumstances, was deeply tragic. Till lost his life and the community lost a good son.
