I think most people knew she was lying anyway

On a steamy hot September day in 1955, in a racially segregated courtroom in Sumner, Mississippi, two white men, J.W. Milam and his half-brother Roy Bryant—a country-store owner—were acquitted of the murder of a 14-year-old black Chicago boy. His name was Emmett Till. And in August of that year, while visiting a Deep South that he didn’t understand, Till had entered a store to buy two cents worth of bubble gum. Shortly after exiting, he likely whistled at Bryant’s 21-year-old wife, Carolyn. Enraged, Bryant and Milam took matters into their own hands. They would later admit to local authorities that they’d abducted Till three nights later. And when they finished with him, his body was so hideously disfigured from having been bludgeoned and shot that its horrifying depiction—in a photo in Jet magazine—would help to propel the American civil rights movement.

Milam and Bryant were arrested, and, with the aid of NAACP Mississippi field secretary Medgar Evers and other black activists in seeking out witnesses, the prosecution produced compelling evidence. Even so, it wasn’t a surprise when the all-white, all-male jury voted “not guilty,” in little over an hour. Mississippi, after all, had had very few convictions for white-on-black murders. And the state led the nation in lynchings. (Four months after their irreversible acquittal, Milam and Bryant admitted their guilt to Look magazine, receiving a fee of some $3,000 for their story.) But the most explosive testimony, which certainly influenced the local white public’s perception of the motive for the murder, were the incendiary words of Carolyn Bryant, who was working in the store that night. On the stand, she had asserted that Till had grabbed her and verbally threatened her. She said that while she was unable to utter the “unprintable” word he had used (as one of the defense lawyers put it), “he said ’”—done something – “with white women before.’” Then she added, “I was just scared to death.” A version of her damning allegation was also made by the defendant’s lawyers to reporters. (The jury did not hear Carolyn’s words because the judge had dismissed them from the courtroom while she spoke, ruling that her testimony was not relevant to the actual murder. But the court spectators heard her, and her testimony was put on the record because the defense wanted her words as evidence in a possible appeal in the event that the defendants were convicted.)

There's a new article out which the title suggests that an author found the white woman that led to Emmett tills death. I'd caution reading it. Because while the title gives you the illusion of investigative journalism, the actual content is little more than trying to gin up sympathy for a white woman who's lies led to one of the worst documented murders in history , never apologized, and is now being white washed as remorseful when she's expressed not of that. I say this because I read through the whole thing and ended up feeling angrier (if possible) about the situation than I already had and I want to give heads up to anyone that may click it too.

That entire article read like it was written to make us mad.

i'm so jaded i can tell when the okey doke is coming.

plus, Vanity Fair.

John Edgar Wideman just published a couple of months ago a book about Emmett's dad, who was executed by the US Army 10 years before Emmett's murder.

I feel like that's going to have a lot more truth about white people and racism than a Vanity Fair article.

Its the 'Hey, sucker punches are wrong, we could have changed his mind!' when the nazi got punched, etc.

America will BEND OVER BACKWARDS to try to find the innate goodness when it comes to white skin.

Black skin? Charge em as an adult and execute em at 12.

she sounds like these punk ass cops

I don't care about her story.

I just want her to go to jail and/or die ASAP. Just being honest.

.

(and The Roots got in trouble for covering it)

nah..Michelle Bachman...

but this is all too familiar

The Fishbone original is from '85.

"That case went a long way toward ruining her life," Tyson contends, explaining that she could never escape its notoriety.

to say her actions/lack thereof 'ruined' Emmet Till's life would be a severe understatement.

that line has that '.....but ALL lives matter' sentiment to it where someone ignores the greater and more obvious evil to say what about me.

Terrible.
