About:
Rev. Wheeler Parker Jr is the cousin and best friend of the late Emmett Till. He is the last surviving eyewitness of Till’s kidnapping. Rev. Parker’s memoir, A Few days full of Trouble, published by Random House, will be released January 10, 2023. The pursuit of justice in the lynching and brutal murder of his best friend and cousin on August 28, 1955 has been a central focal point of his mission and ministry for years. His journey to justice has included a relentless advocacy for truth, as he has been deeply disappointed by the many erroneous news, books, and documentary reports that have been produced surrounding Emmett’s case. He has carried this commitment as a truth-bearer, with a message of love, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
