Emmett Till’s Accuser Carolyn Bryant Donham Dead at 88

The woman who made accusations that led to the killing of Emmett Till has died. Reports say Carolyn Bryant Donham long battled cancer. She was 88. Back in 1955, Bryant Donham was working in a store in Sumner, Mississippi, when Emmett Till, 14, came into the shop. She claimed the Black teen flirted with her. Her husband and brother-in-law kidnapped Till, tortured and killed him before dumping him in a river. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
