Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black boy from Chicago died a horrific death at the hands of two white men after buying bubble gum while visiting racially segregated Mississippi in 1955.
They beat, shot and disfigured his body beyond recognition - and walked free, acquitted at the hands of an all-white, all-male jury.
Emmett's crime was allegedly whistling at a white woman. The woman, Carolyn Bryant, has lived in relative hiding for the last five decades, haunted by her past. She has now admitted that her testimony, which carried the case, was a blatant lie.
A new book, The Blood of Emmett Till to be published next week, reveals an interview with Carolyn, who accused Emmett of grabbing and verbally abusing her, according to Vanity Fair.

Timothy Tyson, the author of The Blood of Emmett Till, spoke with Carolyn in 2007, who has since divorced and married twice more, and is a mother of two children. She is now 82 years old.
During their interview in 2007, Tyson said it was evident that the times had changed her, though not in a radical sense.
Regarding her statement that Emmett grabbed and verbally abused her, she simply said, 'that part's not true,' according to Tyson.

Bitch should be in jail
Which circle of Hell will this cow occupy?
Wow.
But women deserve to be believed when they accuse men of horrible things, the media told me so.
I’m not sure where you get your figures but more importantly, far more importantly, what does that have to do with the murder of Emmett Till?
What’s that got to do with this psycho?
Well, the PC crowd has got to single out the one or two false claims, then expound on them for decades
It’s what they do
Yes. But it is ironic at the lengths (and time) media can go to pursue wrongs that are in the white-on-black category.
Hundreds of instances of the reverse over the last decade have gone mute with our “investigative journalists” of today. [I threw up a little in my mouth even typing “investigative journalists”.....there it just happened again]
Wonder if she is still a democRAT?
Because this was a direct result of their policies.
That’s another kettle of fish.
I’d think maybe it’s the same kettle but different net.
We all agree that what was done to Emitt Till was horrific.
That this woman was a part of it and will profit from it is sinful to say the least.
Carolyn Bryant is an evil woman. How she could let all that happen is beyond my understanding. She should have been sent to prison.
If still alive, her ex-husband and anyone else that killed the young boy should be sent to prison too.
It’s from 60 odd years ago. It’s pretending to deem this relevant in 2017 to anything. Grown ups need to stop pretending and live in the here and now.
That was 62 years ago. How many blacks have murdered whites during that time, and are we going to get headline stories about each one of them?
I bet lots of sickos confess as the lights get dim
After Trayvon and the gentle giant and many many others, sorry, I am all guilted out.
I just do not care.
Emmett Till probably did do something, the years and the leftist propaganda has probably gotten to This Woman’s mind.
The heart-wrenching part about the **bubble gum**..?
Sorry but that smells a whole lot like...skittles, to me.
The left discovers a formula and then they work work work, work, work it to death, count me out.
Well, the PC crowd has got to single out the one or two false claims, then expound on them for decades
It’s what they do

So true.
Sort of reminds me of this Joseph Stalin quote, “The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic.”

The treatment and death of the young boy was certainly a tragedy. The people that did this to him were pure evil. However, there are thousands of white victims of black violence and no one ever hears about it.
