On the road with Jonathan Daniels
Fifty years ago today, Jonathan Daniels was shot and killed in Hayneville, Alabama.
Earlier that year, the young Episcopal seminarian was striding happily along the road from Selma to Montgomery. So was I. We didn’t know each other, and we didn’t see each other. But we shared that Alabama road and that commitment to justice—along with some 3,000 other activists, participating in what would become the most celebrated civil rights march in U.S. history.
