This is some fricked up shite though. I wonder why this story isn't as well known as Emmitt Till's.

I think the brutality in Till's death was a factor. Also, his mother doing an open casket funeral made the story gain popularity.

South Carolina is as bad as Mississippi when it comes to ignorant redneck racist Bible thumpers.

South Carolina in 1944.
There were other things going on in other parts of the world at that time that overshadowed this. Plus, the civil rights movement hadn't really gotten going yet. So, this story is sort of lost to history for the most part.
