Woman behind Emmett Till's murder claim dies

Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman who falsely accused Black teenager Emmett Till of accosting her in Mississippi in 1955, leading to his lynching and galvanizing the Civil Rights Movement, has died at 88. Till's murder remains unpunished, as an all-white jury acquitted the two white men who killed him. Donham's precise role in the killing remains murky, but it's clear she was involved. Last year, President Joe Biden signed the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act to make lynching a federal crime.
