What happens when a young Black congressman walks into a segregated Mississippi courtroom during the Emmett Till trial? In this clip, we break down how Charles C. Diggs Jr. stood with Black witnesses, challenged Jim Crow, and became the only federal official to show up when it mattered most.
Dr. Marion Orr explains how Diggs’ presence empowered witnesses, why he was forced into the “Jim Crow section,” and how he later helped protect those who testified. This moment connects directly to Diggs’ later work with Martin Luther King Jr. and the Congressional Black Caucus, revealing powerful civil rights history rarely taught in schools.
