Emmett Till - "Let the World See" (Part One: Accusations)

from We Saw the Devil: Crime & Political Analysis · host We Saw the Devil

An unserved, 1955 arrest warrant for Carolyn Bryant was recently found by a team searching a Mississippi courthouse basement for evidence about the horrific lynching and murder of 14yo Emmett Till. Now, here in July of 2022, a new question is on the table: Should Carolyn Bryant, now 88 years old, be arrested for Till's kidnapping and murder? The horrific death of Till was a spark in the early Civil Rights movement. After Mamie Carthan, Emmett's mother, decided to hold an open casket funeral for her son, the entire world was confronted by the horrors taking place in the American South. Why was Emmett Till tortured and shot to death by Carolyn Bryant's husband and his half-brother? What was he accused of? What crime was so terrible that it brought upon his death?: Supposedly, Emmett had whistled at 21yo Carolyn Bryant, the owner of a grocery store Emmett entered to purchase gum. Bryant claimed he also made physical advances. Except it was a lie. This episode is Part One of, "Emmett Till: Let The World See," and covers the events up to Emmett Till's fateful trip to Mississippi in August of 1955. --------------------------------------------- We Saw the Devil: Email us and share your personal story: [email protected]: http://www.wesawthedevil.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevil Discord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevil Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast--------------------------------------------- We would like to thank our Executive Producers: Angelle BBrittany HWannabe SleuthBren W Emalie SYlana Dawn MFaye SChristy KAshley MShawna Cristi RIris DSRobinMaureenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics
