“We want at the very least this warrant to be executed and they have to go through the appropriate authorities and process to make sure that that happens … We also hope that the DA will empanel a grand jury.” BlackVoicesWTTW
In the basement of a Mississippi courthouse in late June members of the Minnesota-based Emmett Till Legacy Foundation discovered an unserved warrant.
Now the foundation, which includes members of Till’s family, is demanding that the warrant be served and to see Bryant Donham charged. Watts described finding the warrant with the search team, which in addition to her included foundation ambassador Melissa Earnest, family ambassador Khali Rasheed and filmmaker and justice advocate Keith Beauchamp. She said it was Rasheed who actually found the document.
“What we were able to find is a file folder, red in color, with the minutes along with the affidavit and the warrant inside and then a copy of a piece of paper that had the most recent address on it. So everything was contained in that one folder,” she said. “We weren't really sure what we were going to find. But fortunately the ancestors led us to that folder and led Khali Rasheed to that folder into that box and it was all contained there.”“We were overwhelmed.
