New book "The Barn" examines the killing of Emmett Till
Every day just outside Drew, Mississippi, people drive by a barn with no idea what they are passing. It was in that barn where 14-year-old Emmett Till was brutally beaten and killed in 1955. Till's lynching sparked the civil rights movement. Wright Thompson's new book "The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi" examines how an ordinary building many see conceals an extraordinary evil no one knows. Jim Axelrod has more. "CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell" delivers the latest news and original reporting, and goes beyond the headlines with context and depth.
