Just in time for the celebration of the Feast Day on August 14 honoring Jonathan Daniels. A documentary “exploring the life of a modern Christian martyr who gave his life bravely defending a young woman in Alabama during the civil rights era.” This is the story of a young Episcopal seminarian who went to Alabama to stand up for civil rights and justice.

Thanks so much for this and the opportunity to see the PBS video again. First heard of Jonathan Daniels back in high school listening to an audio tape featuring an extended interview with Malcolm Boyd. Difficult times, with lots of tragedy, but times that produced leaders who became a life long inspiration for others near and far.
