Emmett Till accuser died in Louisiana. |
No justice for Emmett Till.
Hopefully, someone will piss on that wretched woman's grave. The evil b*tch.
In 2022, it was discovered that Carolyn Bryant Donham lived in Bowling Green, Kentucky and it led to protest. I guess the old b*tch moved. Donham died Tuesday night in Westlake, Louisiana, according to a death report filed Thursday in Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office in Louisiana.
Till’s kidnapping and killing became a catalyst for the civil rights movement when his mother insisted on an open-casket funeral in their hometown of Chicago after his brutalized body was pulled from a river in Mississippi. Jet magazine published photos.
The protests for her arrest were ignored.
In 1955, this woman claimed a 14 year old Emmett Till whistled at her while shenwas stocking shelves at her small grocery store in Money, Mississippi. She told her husband.
Her husband and his half brother abducted Emmett from his bed and took him to the Tallahatchie River where they shot him. They gouged his eyes, mutilated his face, cut his hands off and tied his body to a cotton gin and sunk it into the river.
Evidence indicates a woman identified Till to her then-husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam, who killed the teenager. An all-white jury acquitted the two white men in the killing, but the men later confessed in an interview with Look magazine.
Emmett and Mamie Till. |
In an unpublished memoir obtained by The Associated Press in 2022, Donham said she was unaware of what would happen to the 14-year-old Till. Donham was 21 at the time.
The contents of the 99-page manuscript, titled “I am More Than A Wolf Whistle,” were first reported by the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting. Historian and author Timothy Tyson of Durham, who said he obtained a copy from Donham while interviewing her in 2008, provided a copy to the AP.
Tyson had placed the manuscript in an archive at the University of North Carolina with the agreement that it not be made public for decades, though he said he gave it to the FBI during an investigation the agency concluded last year. He said he decided to make it public now following the recent discovery of an arrest warrant on kidnapping charges that was issued for Donham in 1955 but never served.
