An arrest warrant has been found nearly 70 years later for Carolyn Bryant Donham, the woman who accused Emmett Till of sexual harassment.
An unserved warrant for Carolyn Bryant Donham has recently been discovered in the basement of a Mississippi courthouse. Now in her ’80s, Donham accused Chicago teenager Emmett Till of flirting with her during his 1955 visit to Mississippi, which turned fatal. In August of that year, Till was visiting relatives in the Delta region of Mississippi, where he was later abducted and killed by a violent mob of whites, including her now-deceased husband Roy Bryant, who heard about his alleged encounter with Donham.
