Holy Julian, pray for us!
Thanks for the links to the several items about Julian Bond. With regard to people who lived during the 1960s civil rights era, there is a very interesting article in the local section of Washington Post by Michael e Ruane about Ruby Sales, the woman whose life was saved by Jonathan Daniels. Ruane’s article tells the story of how Sales’ life has unfolded since that terrible day in August 1965.

Thanks for the note, Rod! I think another editor is going to do a more in-depth story on Daniels today; certainly a worthy figure for attention!
