It has been revealed that the woman who claimed Emmett Till whistled at her, Carolyn Bryant Donham, actually lied about the whole thing, then confessed in 2007. The admission was given to author Timothy Tyson, and Vanity Fair just did a deep dive into his new book, The Blood of Emmett Till, where he reveals the confession. A whole life lost because a woman chose to lie on a young man. SO sad. Read an except from Vanity Fair below.
