move page to Mamie Till?[edit]

I recommend we move this page to Mamie Till. It's a likely search term, and Googling her name shows that once we get into her other names, she's as likely to be known by one full name as another. Her true full name would probably be Mamie Elizabeth Carthan Till-Mobley, but it doesn't seem she was known by that name. --Allen 23:03, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say move to Mamie Till. Leave a redirect here and also at Mamie Till-Mobley. Till and Till-Mobley, it seems to me, are the most commonly used. Fan-1967 23:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Potentially inappropriate wording?[edit]

The section on the murder of Emmett Till currently starts "In 1955, when Emmett was 14, his mother put him on the train to spend the summer visiting his cousins in Money, Mississippi. She never saw him alive again." I feel the second sentence should be heavily reworked, or even outright removed (the segment won't suffer at all). To me it reads more like a scary line in a story for dramatic effect than one befitting a Wikipedia article. I'd rather be cautious and ask about it than make a bold edit on a page like this, as my own perspective is limited. Opinions? Nerdwizard (talk) 19:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Marriages[edit]

A minor detail, but I've just added a mention of her second marriage (to Lemorse Mallory), which is missing from many biographical accounts. With regard to her third husband, Mr Bradley, was "Pink" a nickname or not? At least one source suggests his legal name was Gene Bradley, but primary sources seem to indicate that he was always known as Pink Bradley. Muzilon (talk) 00:54, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
