00:11:57.200and then told her he had slept with white women before.
00:12:01.200It was all over the Daily Papers with quotes from a young Wheeler Parker calling 21-year-old Carolyn Bryant a pretty lady, interviews he says he never gave.
00:12:13.800Bryant and her husband Roy owned the store. In 2007, she told a book writer that she lied, and then she died in 2023, never apologizing to the black families.
00:12:25.960What you should notice about all these stories is how definitive they are.
00:12:29.500All the official versions of the Emmett Till story make the claim that beyond a shadow of a doubt, Bryant admitted she was wrong.
00:12:35.520Pretty much everyone accepts this version of events to the point that just a couple of years ago, black activists tried to have the elderly woman thrown in prison.
00:12:42.120At the time, she was in her 80s and in failing health, but they didn't care.
00:12:45.800They went all the way to a grand jury, which rejected their claims. Watch.
00:12:49.820Well, a grand jury in Mississippi today declined to indict the white woman whose accusations set off the lynching of Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago.0.57
00:13:00.040Carolyn Bryant Dunham, now 88, initially claimed that Till made unwanted advances towards her at her family's grocery store.
00:13:07.280It led to the brutal torture and lynching of the 14 year old.
00:13:11.040The prosecutor said the grand jury found insufficient evidence to charge Dunham.
00:13:15.700Here are just a few of the top comments on that video to give you an idea of the public reaction.1.00
00:13:21.560Quote, she's definitely going to hell. Quote, you've got to be kidding me. Don't worry. God
00:13:26.200knows what you did. We know what you did. One day you'll receive what you deserve. May God hold
00:13:30.200Emmett in his hands. Quote, always angers me when the truly evil live to a ripe old age.
00:13:37.660Now, those are the least deranged quotes I can find. It's all out bloodlust over a dying woman
00:13:44.260in her 80s, and it's all based on a total fabrication. Bryant never recanted her allegation.
00:13:51.660The claim that she recanted was made by a historian named Timothy Tyson. He wrote a book
00:13:55.820in 2017 called The Blood of Emmett Till, in which he claimed that Bryant recanted her claims
00:14:00.340about Till in 2008, many decades after the incident. He recorded all of his interviews
00:14:05.620for the book, including his interviews with Bryant, standard practice for historians who
00:14:10.900were writing a book. So you'd think he'd be able to support his claims, especially a claim as
00:14:14.480explosive as that one. But it turns out that somehow Tyson's transcripts and audio recordings
00:14:19.600did not capture this bombshell admission. The FBI opened an investigation into Tyson's claim,
00:14:25.400since it would obviously be relevant to a criminal proceeding, even if the statute of
00:14:28.380limitations had expired, and they found no support for it whatsoever. This is from the Washington
00:14:33.860Post. The article is from 2021, quote, the Justice Department has closed the latest federal
00:14:38.260investigation into the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till in rural Mississippi. Federal authorities
00:14:46.160reopened the case three years ago after a new book reported that Bryant had denied an interview
00:14:49.620that Till had made any advances. In theory, that could have meant she lied in decades-old court
00:14:54.880proceedings. Justice Department officials said Monday that when the FBI questioned Bryant about
00:14:59.480these allegations, about these alleged statements to the book's author, she said she did not make
00:15:03.720them, and the author's interview tape and transcripts do not show her making such statements.
00:15:07.760The book said Bryant told Tyson that Till had not come on to her sexually, a disclosure that directly contradicted her testimony six decades earlier, which he told a jury that Till grabbed her by the waist and uttered obscenities.
00:15:18.360In a statement, Justice Department said the FBI was unable to confirm Tyson's assertion that Donham had recanted her prior testimony.
00:15:26.540When agents interviewed her, she denied ever recanting and provided no new information, Justice Department's statement said.
00:15:32.020Authorities concluded there was insufficient evidence to prove that she ever told the professor that any part of her testimony was untrue.
00:15:38.080Although the professor represented that he had recorded two interviews with her, he provided the FBI with only one recording, which did not contain any recantation.
00:15:46.680A transcript of Tyson's other interview also did not contain the alleged recantation, official said.
00:15:55.380But Donham denied to federal investigators that she lied in her testimony, a source of knowledge of the case said, and there were inconsistencies with statements made by Tyson.
00:16:02.160So to recap, to this day, they're lying to us about what the woman alleged Emmett Till did to her.
00:16:08.600They're lying by claiming the woman recanted her claim. She didn't.
00:16:11.540And they're burying a lot of information about the case, about Emmett Till, including the fact that his father was a rapist.
00:16:18.440And with all that in mind, you have to wonder if they're telling the truth about any aspect of this particular story.
00:16:25.940I mean, once they're willing to fabricate important details in order to create a myth for the purposes of launching the civil rights movement, then there's no reason to trust anything they say about it.
00:16:38.840Now, does that mean that his killing was justified?
