The woman whose accusation led to Emmett Till’s murder now says she was lying

The murder of Emmett Till is one of the most brutal and horrific examples of what racism in America really looks like. In 1955, 14-year-old Chicago-native Till, who was visiting family in Money, Mississippi, was murdered in an appallingly barbaric manner by Roy Bryant and his brother-in-law J.W. Milam, after being accused by Bryant’s wife Carolyn of grabbing her and making lewd comments at her. Till’s mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, chose to display her son’s shockingly disfigured corpse to the world. The photo of Till’s mutilated face became one of the most infamous symbols of white supremacist terror in American history.
quote:
Yesterday, Vanity Fair wrote that a new book by Timothy Tyson called The Blood of Emmett Till reports that Carolyn Bryant lied about that altercation in the store. Despite testifying on the stand that Till—who was constantly referred to as “a man” rather than the 14-year-old boy that he was—had grabbed her, and told her something that was “unprintable” but ended in “…with white women before,” she made it all up.
quote:
“That part’s not true,” she told Tyson, about her claim that Till had made verbal and physical advances on her. As for the rest of what happened that evening in the country store, she said she couldn’t remember. […] “Nothing that boy did could ever justify what happened to him.” She also admitted she “felt tender sorrow,” Tyson would note, “for Mamie Till-Mobley”—Emmett Till’s mother, who died in 2003 after a lifetime spent crusading for civil rights.

She should be put in jail.

This should shock no one. It's the oldest trick in the white girl playbook.

There should be more serious penalties for the crime of perjury in this country.

She and her husband better burn, ISIS style.

Shocker I tell you. Completely shocked

I doubt anyone ever really believed her, even the two who murdered him over it.

Is she still alive? Must be pretty old and thinking about the pearly gates vs the fires of hell.

She needs to be punished for what she did. But, I doubt Mississippi would ever do any thing about this.

What a terrible person. Poor kid.
What is the statute of limitations for something like this?

Who gives a shite. It was news to me, and I'm glad he posted it. I'm certainly not going 3 pages deep to read TD. If it's not on the first page then I don't read it. Thanks OP
