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. Her death marks the last chance for anyone to be held accountable for the kidnapping and murder. Till's cousin filed a federal lawsuit against the current Leflore County Sheriff, seeking to compel him to serve the 1955 warrant on Donham, but the grand jury declined to indict her last year.
