Jonathan Myrick Daniels
20 Aug 1965
Hayneville, AL
An Episcopal seminary student from New England, Jonathan Daniels came to Alabama to support black voting rights in the Selma area.
The first white activist in "bloody" Lowndes County, he was arrested at a demonstration and jailed. Daniels, 26, was shot by a part-time deputy sheriff moments after his release. |
