This is an interesting read for this 'under arrest' contest in which you show Emmett Till's family getting some justice for the murder of their son but then, David Turner's reality of being an innocent black man languishing in prison and dreaming of justice. Well done and good luck in the contest

A fine written short story with some drama.
Don't understand the tags used for your dialog in this story. Was it to be a screen play?
Good luck thank you for sharing.

Hi. Your post is invaluable to society. I'd like to see it published everywhere.
Emmitt Till was one of the reasons why my husband became a civil rights worker in the summer of 1965. The other reason was the Birmingham bombing. He met Dr. King. King knew he was going to be assasinated. He told my husband that his death would not be in vain. Then he told my husband that should he be killed, his death would not be in vain.
My husband registered black people to vote and desegregated restaurants
I really enjoyed your poem. Even more so because I am familiar with this (you properly called it an) atrocity
Great job. Thank you for sharing.

It is truly an honor to have you read and give a positive review. I always think of these times and wish things could?ve been different. Thank you and your husband for bringing reality to my wishes.

This is a well-written story with a creative approach to the prompt, a man dreaming of justice told via interrogation. I'm not personally aware if your dreamer is a real historical figure or not, but he clearly shares in the same cultural and racial milieu as Emmitt Till.
You have a little computer gremlin in this sentence:
lingering in his mind�¢?"a dream where justice wasn't an elusive concept but a tangible reality.
Nice job!
