People in Bowling Green, Kentucky, won’t be deprived of a Christmas parade after all.
The city on Saturday canceled the annual event scheduled for that day after threats against protesters related to the lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till, a Black boy, in 1955. On Monday, Mary-John Carmon, chairwoman of the Bowling Green Jaycees Christmas Parade, told CNN that the parade was rescheduled and will take place on Saturday, December 10.
Police have “not received any information” about whether the protests planned for December 3 will take place this Saturday, Ronnie Ward, a spokesman for the Bowling Green Police Department, told CNN. The protesters want a Mississippi court to order the arrest of Carolyn Bryant Donham, the White woman now in her late 80s who accused Till of whistling at her in 1955 in Mississippi, according to CNN affiliate WBKO.
