The image is arresting: a small Black boy, tossed aloft by his father on a perfect Chicago summer beach day. The photo is black and white; the warmth of the other sun wraps them both. The boy is frozen in time, serenely suspended in midair, and the man’s strong hands wait to catch him.

It’s not a picture of Emmett Till, but it could have been. If only he’d made it home.
