A cousin of Emmett Till, the young black boy lynched in 1955 for approaching a white woman in Mississippi, filed suit in federal court demanding that a recently discovered arrest warrant from the era be served on the woman.

Till, a 14-year-old black boy from Chicago, was visiting relatives in Mississippi in 1955 when he was brutally killed.
