Carolyn Bryant died today. I thought I’d feel vindicated or at least be able to say “good riddance”. But I can’t. She died at 88 after living a long, full life. She got to pass away quietly.
Emmett did not.
Carolyn Bryant died without ever admitting any guilt. She never saw what she did as anything worth apologizing for. And it hurts. She got to pass away while the legacy of her actions lives on.
She outlived Mamie Till by decades.
