Though best known from the fictional song (and movie) Ode to Billy Joe, which has the refrain the day that Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie River bridge, the river has historical significance due to the lynching of Emmett Till, an African-American youth who was badly beaten, shot, and sunk in the river.
