Mammie and Emmett Till. |
The incident in Money, Mississippi triggered the Civil Rights Movement of the United States. The incident started from allegations over a simple flirt.
Carolyn Bryant Donham claimed Till grabbed her wrist and whistled at her discount store back in 1955. Bryant told her husband and his friend about the ordeal.
When they found out about it, they went into Till house, snatched him up and beat him to a bloody pulp. They gouged his eyes out. They cut his fingers off. They tied his neck around a cotton gin and tossed in the river.
When he was found, the body was completely disfigured.
That woman and her scumbag husband. |
The two men who attacked Till were caught. However, they were acquitted by an all white jury. The jury said regardless of what happened, he was a Negro boy who should have let that woman alone. The two men would eventually confess to the murder. They would die without being federally charged.
It was last year the story became the news. The woman who set off the events recanted her story. It prompted the U.S. Justice Department to reexamine whether this woman could be charged for a crime.
I sure hope so.
Cause this woman should pay for this.
