Till’s kidnapping and killing became a catalyst for the civil rights movement when his mother insisted on an open-casket funeral
in their hometown of Chicago after his brutalized body was pulled from a river in Mississippi. Jet magazine published photos.
In an unpublished memoir obtained by The Associated Press in 2022, Donham said she was unaware of what would happen to Till. Tyson had placed the manuscript in an archive at the University of North Carolina with the agreement that it not be made public for decades, though he said he gave it to the FBI during an investigation the agency concluded in 2021. He said he decided to make it public after people doing research at the Leflore County, Mississippi, courthouse in June 2022 found an arrest warrant on kidnapping charges that was issued for “Mrs. Roy Bryant” in 1955 but never served.
