Milam in Till's abduction in 1955. While the men were arrested and acquitted on murder charges in Till's subsequent slaying, Donham, 21 at the time and 87 now, was never taken into custody.
Tyson released the following statement about the Leflore County grand jury declining to indict Donham:
Now that’s White Power! When a secret jury of White people get together and give another White person a break to allude justice. The same reason you will never see a all black jury in a Chicago Murder case of a White person. In fear Blacks would give the Black offenders a pass!
Now that’s racist. But I guess since she’s older and a woman right?
