I'm sorry I didn't note this earlier, but I am so happy #CarolynBryantDonham is dead. I hope it hurt. A lot. Because it sure took long enough.

And I don't feel bad about feeling that way. It's ok to speak ill of the dead when they're racists. Go for it! Dance on their graves! It's not like anyone is going to forgive them, whether or not any sort of god exists.

Must be some wildfire in hell today!

>½ a century after the murder, she admitted that she had perjured herself on the witness stand to make Till’s conduct sound more threatening than it actually was — serving, in the words of the historian to whom she made the admission, as “the mouthpiece of a monstrous lie.”

#CarolynBryantDonham Dies at 88; Her Words Doomed #EmmettTill

She said Till, at 14, had accosted her, & her testimony in the 1955 trial of her husband & his ½ brother was crucial in their acquittal in one of the most epochal murders in American history.

With Ms. Donham’s death, the truth of what happened that August day may never be clear.

#CarolynBryantDonham is still alive, and so is her legacy.

It's not ancient history or long ago, it's right here, right now, everywhere.

Where's Jennifer Ann Gries' mug shot?

#EmmitTill, 2023.

Thankfully, this #lynching failed. Barely.
