The woman at the center of the #EmmettTill murder case has spoken out for the first time, more than 60 years later, admitting that part of her story about the black teenager is false. _________________________________ Till’s brutal beating death in Mississippi in 1955, the acquittal of his professed killers by an all-white jury and the photos of his dead body sparked outrage outside the state — becoming a catalyst for the national civil rights movement. _________________________________ Authorities say the 14-year-old boy from #Chicago was killed during a visit to #Mississippi after #CarolynBryantDonham, a white woman reportedly accused him of whistling, grabbing her by the hand and waist and acting lewdly at her shop. Till was kidnapped days later from a relative’s home and then beaten and mutilated, before being shot, by #Donham’s husband at the time - #RoyBryant, and his half-brother, #JWMilam (Both men have died since). _________________________________ Till’s body was sunk in the #TallahatchieRiver, where it was eventually found floating. After a highly publicized trial, Bryant and Milam were acquitted of Till’s kidnapping and murder in by an all-white, all-male jury. They deliberated for an hour. _________________________________ Donham avoided public attention for much of her life, ignoring journalists’ repeated requests. But she sat down with author and Duke University scholar Timothy B. Tyson 10 years ago for his new book, The Blood of Emmett Till, according to Vanity Fair and the Austin American-Statesman. _________________________________ Donham’s 2007 interview with, when she was 72, is being published for the first time. Of her accusation that Till had physically and verbally harassed her, she told Tyson, according to Vanity Fair: “That part’s not true.” “Honestly, I just don’t remember,” Donham said of her fateful meeting with Till, according to the Statesman. “It was 50 years ago. You tell these stories for so long that they seem true.” Donham’s allegation that Till whistled at her has also been disputed.
