The story of Emmett Till is one we think we know—a 14-year-old boy, a Mississippi town, and a brutal murder that fueled the Civil Rights Movement. But the full truth remained buried for decades. In 'The Blood of Emmett Till', Timothy B. Tyson delivers a bombshell: a startling confession from Carolyn Bryant, the woman whose accusation sealed the boy’s fate. She admitted she lied. This groundbreaking work unearths the devastating secret at the heart of an American tragedy, revealing how one lie lit the fuse of a revolution.
