NBC 5 Obtains Copy of Leaked 2008 Memoir from Emmett Till Female Victim - Carolyn Bryant Donham - The Negroes in order to keep their HERO UPSTANDING, call her a liar with no proof even though Emmett Till was a very troubled young man and was sent south from Chicago because he was causing so many problems
"We believe she is continuing to tell lies," said Chris Benson, who co-authored a book about Emmett Till with Till's cousin Wheeler Parker. "This is a person who we strongly believe had something to do with the abduction and potentially even the lynching of Emmett Till – but there is no way to establish that as a legal matter at this point." And we believe you're full of shit!
A copy of the unreleased memoir manuscript attributed to Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman who accused 14-year-old Emmett Till of whistling at her in a Mississippi store in 1955, has surfaced and been obtained by NBC 5, adding another layer to the events that led to Till's murder.
The manuscript, titled "I Am More Than a Wolf Whistle," was supposed to be kept in the University of North Carolina’s archives for at least another decade but began to circulate earlier this month.
In the text of the copy obtained by NBC 5, Bryant Donham sticks to what she testified during Till's murder trial. She said that Till whistled at her after grabbing her hand and waist and propositioning her inside the store, points that have been repeatedly disputed by Till's surviving family members who witnessed what happened that day.
Bryant Donham said those statements in court during the murder trial of her then-husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam. Roy Bryant later confessed to murdering Till.
In the leaked memoir, Bryant Donham also says she screamed when she encountered Till, something that Till's cousin, Wheeler Parker, says never happened.
In the NBC 5 documentary "The Lost Story of Emmett Till," both Parker and fellow witness Simeon Wright say that Till whistled but that nothing else occurred.
