Wrong.
In 2017, a book quoted Donham, now in her 80s, as saying she lied when she claimed that Till grabbed her, whistled and made sexual advances while she was working in a store.
After the allegations of Donham's lies, she told the FBI that she had never recanted her accusations while relatives also denied the accusations.
At the time, officials said historian Timothy B. Tyson, the author of 2017's 'The Blood of Emmett Till,' was unable to produce any recordings or transcripts in which Donham allegedly admitted to lying about her encounter with the teen.
so from what I can gleam from this is that a black person has admitted that Till acted obnoxiously...he did say he had been with white women before...the only thing that seems to be uncertain is whether till grabbed her. The woman said he did. I do not see where the cousin says he didn’t...doesn’t say he did...and he might not have seen it.
So the modern day lynching appears to be based on the theory that some dude claims the old lady recanted...and she denies she ever did..and he can’t prove it.
What happened to Till shouldn’t have happened. The lady was trying to protect him by not telling the husband.
