Carolyn Bryant Donham, the woman whose accusation against Emmett Till led to his lynching, has died at the age of 88 without ever facing persecution. Donham accused Till of wolf-whistling at her in 1955 in Mississippi when he was 14 and she was 21.The allegation - which has never been proven nor disproven - triggered her husband and brother-in-law to kidnap Till, beat him senselessly and savagely, and lynch him.
