From Vibe via Vanity Fair:
In 1955, Carolyn Bryant Donham claimed that a 14-year-old black Chicago teen named Emmett Till whistled at her, which lead to the vicious killing of Till by J.W. Milam and his half-brother Roy Bryant, who was married to Carolyn.
Vanity Fair reports that when interviewed by Tyson for his book in 2007, the then-72-year-old woman, who divorced Roy and has been married twice since, told the author that Till did not make any verbal or physical advances at her. She also did not remember what else happened that night at that country store in Mississippi. Donham is now 82 and her whereabouts are being kept a secret.
“That part’s not true,” she said. “Nothing that boy did could ever justify what happened to him.”
