Family of Emmett Till are calling for the arrest of the white woman who accused him of whistling at her after an unserved warrant for her arrest was discovered
Last week they uncovered a warrant for the arrest of Carolyn Brant Donham, identified as ‘Mrs Roy Bryant’ on the document, inside a file folder that had been placed in a box in the basement of a courthouse in Greenwood, Mississippi. The search was conducted by the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation and included two members of Till’s family: His cousin Deborah Watts, who heads the foundation, and her daughter, Teri Watts.‘Serve it and charge her,’ Teri Watts told the Associated Press.
The Justice Department reopened its investigation into the case in 2018 following the publication of the book The Blood of Emmett Till, by Duke University Professor Timothy Tyson a year earlier.
