Karma, that's what happened. Karma. Let's take a tour.

A quick thumbnail: Carolyn falsely accused Till of catcalling. Roy & JW then kidnapped him, beat him (so badly his eye popped from its socket), killed him, anchored him w/barbed wire to a 75lb gin fan, & scuttled him in the Tallahatchie.
Roy & JW were arrested. Locals turned against them until Drew, MS became the national white supremacy poster child. Then Drew circled the wagons. W/in a month, the two were tried found not guilty by their peers.

It was during this search, that we discovered the original outstanding physical warrant charging #CarolynBryantDonham (née Mrs. Roy Bryant) along with her husband Roy Bryant and JW Milam with kidnapping. This physical original warrant was never executed in 1955. #EmmettTill
We never accepted closing of this case by the authorities or gave up hope. We have always pushed for full accountability of all those involved in #EmmettTill's murder, who may still be alive. #JusticeForEmmettTill
