Emmett Till

In August 1955, Chicago teenager Emmett Till died a gruesome death. The Black boy was lynched, while visiting family in Mississippi. No one has ever been convicted of the crime, but an unserved warrant was recently discovered for Carolyn Bryant Donham.

The white woman who was at the center of the 1955 lynching of Black teenager Emmett Till in Mississippi denies wanting him killed. The claim comes in a memoir by Carolyn Bryant Donham that was obtained by The Associated Press.

The North Carolina-based playwright and actor Mike Wiley has spent the past 15 years performing his one-man show "Dar He," educating audiences about the 1955 murder and lynching of Emmett Till.

Officials reopened an investigation after a 2017 book quoted Carolyn Bryant Donham as saying she lied when she claimed Till grabbed her. The Justice Department says there's insufficient evidence to prove Donham ever told the author that any part of her trial testimony was untrue.
