Carolyn Bryant Donham accused the 14-year-old of making improper advances on her, which ultimately led to his murder by her husband and his half-brother.
Mr Till's funeral captured international attention when Mrs Bradley insisted that her son be buried in an open casket, saying:"There was just no way I could describe what was in that box. No way. And I just wanted the world to see."Pictures of the body shocked America, and pressure was brought to bear on the state of Mississippi to bring Mr Till's murderers to justice. Bryant and Milam were arrested and tried for the killing, but an all-white jury acquitted the two white men.
Historian Timothy Tyson said he obtained a copy from Ms Donham while interviewing her in 2008, before passing it on to the AP.
