The Mississippi grand jury decided there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against Carolyn Bryant Donham in a 1955 case that helped spark the civil rights movement.
A rural Mississippi grand jury decided not to indict Carolyn Bryant Donham for her connection to the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till, multiple publications reported Tuesday, after the discovery in June of a decades-old unserved warrant for her arrest.
KEY BACKGROUND
Till was a 14-year-old boy visiting family in Mississippi when Bryant and Milam fatally lynched him, one of many matches that lit the fire of the civil rights movement.
