Emmett Till accuser Carolyn Bryant Donham dies at 88 without recanting
Carolyn Bryant, the woman who falsely accused Emmett Till of grabbing her in 1955, leading to his abduction and lynching, died without recanting her story. Her unpublished memoir doubles down on her disputed story and calls herself a "victim." Emmett's family hoped for over 60 years that Bryant would recant her story while she was still living. Her death leaves Emmett's relatives with a haunting legacy of injustice.
