In the hands of musicians like https://youtu.be/x52x5hjpD5k" target="_blank">Charlie Christian, https://youtu.be/95kCv10duFw" target="_blank">Carlos Santana, and https://youtu.be/bu_sMqZyOTg" target="_blank">Slash, the electric guitar has become a symbol for freedom, rebellion and rock 'n' roll. Then, find out why celebrities like Will Smith and Casey Affleck are taking new interest in the 1955 murder of Emmett Till.
