Town Honors Slain Civil-Rights Worker

The town square of Hayneville, Ala., with a monument to Confederate dead and a courthouse built by slaves, added a monument honoring Jonathan Daniels, a 26-year-old from New England who was shot to death in 1965 by a white man angered by Daniels and other civil rights protesters. “We haven’t made the most of the sacrifices of Jonathan Daniels and others who laid down their lives,” said Ruby Sales, who was a 17-year-old black demonstrator with Daniels, who was white, when he was shot. She said Daniels moved her aside and took Tom Coleman’s shotgun blast to save her life. Most of those attending the ceremony were blacks; only one white elected public official was on hand.
