A parade that had been scheduled for Saturday in has been canceled after authorities received threats directed at racial justice protesters at an Emmett Till rally scheduled for the same day.
The Jaycees' annual Christmas parade in Bowling Green has been canceled out of 'an excess of caution', according to a statement by police. At least three groups planned to demonstrate outside the town's Justice Center Saturday, leading to threats to shoot those racial justice advocates.
They believe Carolyn Bryant Donham - who accused Till of whistling at her in 1955, triggering the 14 year-old's racist murder - lives locally. She was pictured for the first time in 20 years by DailyMail.com in August, and is receiving end-of-life care.
