Question: Willie Louis, previously Willie Reed, was a witness to the murder of which 14-year-old African-American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after a white woman said she was offended by him in her family's grocery store?

<P0-S0> On Tuesday, November 12, 1914, John Evans, a black man, was lynched in St. Petersburg, Florida, by a mob of 1,500 white men, women and children. <P0-S1>  Evans was accused of the murder of Edward Sherman, a white real estate developer, and the attack of Sherman’s wife, Mary. <P0-S2>  After word of the attack spread, and Mary Sherman claimed her attackers were “two negroes,” a citywide search ensued. <P0-S3>  Suspicions immediately led to John Evans. <P0-S4>  Two days after the murder, a posse consisting of some of the city’s most prominent and well-respected members stormed the St. Petersburg jail, threw a noose around Evan’s neck and marched him to his death. <P0-S5>  He was never given a fair trial. <P0-S6>  Evans was hung from a light post on the corner of Ninth Street South and Second Avenue. <P0-S7>  At first, Evans kept himself alive by wrapping his legs around the light pole. <P0-S8>  But then, an unidentified white woman in a nearby automobile ended his struggle with a single bullet. <P0-S9>  Though the shot was fatal, the rest of the crowd began shooting at Evan’s dangling body until their ammunition was depleted. <SEP> <P1-S0> Willie Louis, previously Willie Reed (June 14, 1937 – July 18, 2013) was a witness to the murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till. <P1-S1>  Till was an African-American child from Chicago who was murdered in 1955 after reportedly whistling at a white woman in a Money, Mississippi grocery store. <P1-S2>  Till's murder was a watershed moment in the Civil Rights Movement. <P1-S3>  Louis testified in court about what he had seen, but an all-white jury found the men not guilty. <P1-S4>  Fearing for his life, Louis moved to Chicago after the trial and changed his name from Willie Reed to Willie Louis. <P1-S5>  He was interviewed in 2003 for the PBS documentary "The Murder of Emmett Till" and was interviewed the next year on the CBS News television program "60 Minutes". <SEP> <P2-S0>  The brutality of his murder and the fact that his killers were acquitted drew attention to the long history of violent persecution of African Americans in the United States. <P2-S1>  Till posthumously became an icon of the Civil Rights Movement. <P2-S2> Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was a 14-year-old African-American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after a white woman said she was offended by him in her family's grocery store. <SEP> <P3-S0> Willie Louis Scott (born February 13, 1959) is a former American football tight end in the National Football League. <P3-S1>  Scott is the son of Gloria and Willie Scott. <P3-S2>  Gloria and Willie were employed at Newberry High School. <P3-S3>  Gloria was a math teacher and Willie was an assistant principal. <P3-S4>  Scott attended Newberry High School in Newberry, South Carolina. <P3-S5>  Scott graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1981 and was drafted and went on to play with the Kansas City Chiefs from 1981 to 1985 and also the New England Patriots from 1986 to 1988.
