The modern mob believed it had tracked Donham, who would now be in her 80s, first to a home in Raleigh, then to a senior living facility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cTime to face your demons,\u201d a demonstrator at the facility said as shocked resident watched, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wral.com\/dozens-gather-in-raleigh-searching-for-woman-at-center-of-decades-old-arrest-warrant-in-emmett-till-s-murder\/20362984\/\">according to WRAL<\/a>. \u201cCome on out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Emmett Till protesters storm senior living facility in search of his false accuser <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sWQccaaKlS\">https:\/\/t.co\/sWQccaaKlS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daily Mail US (@DailyMail) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DailyMail\/status\/1545365868997185537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Raleigh police arrived and restored order at the facility, although one resident told WRAL it was put on a brief lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>Donham allegedly accused Till in 1955 of whistling at her outside a grocery store in Money, Mississippi.\u00a0A week later, the boy was abducted, tortured, shot to death, and tossed into the Tallahatchie River. The shocking slaying stunned the nation and made the murdered teen a civil rights\u00a0icon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Donham\u2019s husband, Roy Bryant, and half-brother, J.W. Milam, were acquitted by a white jury, and even though they later admitted to their roles in the lynching, they were not retried due to double jeopardy protection. The case helped pave the way for the Department of Justice to use civil rights violations to address the wrongs of southern juries in racially charged cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cYou cannot ignore this,\u201d Priscilla Sterling, Till\u2019s cousin, told\u00a0WRAL. \u201cIf this is what\u2019s needed to do for us to change our mindset, our behaviors and attitudes in the society, then this will do it. This will do it. Execute the warrant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Department of Justice closed the case last year after determining the statute of limitations had expired for any charges federal prosecutors could bring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Marsha Bryant, who is married to Donham\u2019s son, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarionledger.com\/story\/news\/2018\/08\/21\/emmett-till-carolyn-bryant-donham-recant-quote-missing\/1017876002\/\">The\u00a0Clarion-Ledger<\/a> her mother-in-law was innocent, and was \u201cappalled\u201d by Till\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Malik Shabazz of Black Lawyers for Justice led the group of demonstrators that stormed the senior home, and streamed it on Facebook Live, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10992759\/Emmett-Till-protesters-storm-senior-facility-searching-woman-accused-setting-lynch-mob-him.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus\">Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cWe\u2019re on the move,\u201d he said as the mob made its way around the facility. \u201cWe don\u2019t know how they\u2019re hiding this white woman down here, they\u2019re hiding Carolyn Bryant Donham.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The group was seen entering a room full of confused elderly residents and demanding to know Donham\u2019s whereabouts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cThe false accuser of Emmett Till, the one that said that Emmett Till had sexually assaulted her\u2026 she lives in this building,\u201d Shabazz said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A woman told the group they were in the wrong place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cNo, honey, she does not live in this facility,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An angry mob stormed a North Carolina old folks home Wednesday in a fruitless hunt for the woman whose complaint 67 years ago led to the lynching of Emmett Till in Mississippi.
