She just told a lie. Don’t make her out to be the devil. The murderers are the real evil. Y’all just want to demonise her because she’s a woman.

[The white woman whose allegations resulted
in the torture and murder of the Black teen Emmett Till, an unpunished killing that outraged America and fueled the civil rights movement, has died.] [In 1955, Till was 14 when, while visiting family in Mississippi, he was accused by Donham, then 21, of making lewd comments and grabbing her at a grocery store. Days later, Till was kidnapped at gunpoint by two white men. Evidence indicated that a woman, thought to be Donham, identified Till to them.] [News of Donham’s death triggered widespread reaction online. “Justice could have been served,” one user tweeted. Another wrote, “My thoughts are … with the family of Emmett Till who worked to bring him and Mamie Till-Mobley justice. Please direct your love toward them today.” Nina Turner, a progressive activist and former Ohio state senator, wrote: “Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago, has died at 88. She got to grow old. Emmett Till did not get that opportunity. Rest in power, Emmett.“] https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ett-till-death |
