Weekend
Jonathan Daniels, Alabama martyrs are focus of August 11-12 pilgrimage
Ruby Sales says gathering serves as 'indelible mark"
By Daphne Mack
[ENS] The memory of Jonathan Myrick Daniels will be honored at the Eighth Annual Jonathan Daniels and Martyrs of Alabama Pilgrimage, August 11-12 in Hayneville, Alabama.
Daniels was the a 26-year-old Episcopal seminarian at Episcopal Divinity School (EDS) who answered the call of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help register African-American voters in Alabama, only to be shot and killed months later, on August 20, 1965, while shielding a then 16-year-old Ruby Sales from the shotgun fired as she attempted to enter a store to buy something to drink.
Sales said the incident rendered her mute for several months.
"The [Civil Rights] Movement was one of the most important struggles of the century because it broke the back of southern apartheid without the people firing one shot," Sales said. "It offered a real alternative to those people who would argue that freedom can only be won through the butt of a shotgun."
