The woman who accused Emmett Till of making improper advances in 1955 says she neither identified him to the killers nor wanted him murdered.
DURHAM, N.C. -- The white woman who accused Black teenager Emmett Till of making improper advances before he was lynched in Mississippi in 1955 says she neither identified him to the killers nor wanted him murdered.
Tyson had placed the manuscript in an archive at the University of North Carolina with the agreement that it not be made public for decades, though he said he gave it to the FBI during an investigation the agency concluded last year. He said he decided to make it public now following the recent discovery of an arrest warrant on kidnapping charges that was issued for Donham in 1955 but never served.
"I have always prayed that God would bless Emmett's family. I am truly sorry for the pain his family was caused," she says at the end of the manuscript, which is signed"Carolyn" but indicates that it was written by her daughter-in-law Marsha Bryant. "That seems ludicrous," Killinger said."How would you have a major event in your life and not talk about it?"
Tyson, the historian who provided the roughly 35,000-word manuscript to the AP, helped spur the government's most recent investigation into the killing by publishing a book in 2017 in which he quoted Donham as saying she lied when she claimed Till grabbed her, whistled and made sexual advances. In the memoir, however, she claims Till did do those things. During the most recent investigation, Donham told the FBI she had never recanted, the Justice Department said.
