Jonathan Daniels
Jonathan Myrick Daniels (March 20, 1939 – August 20, 1965) was an Episcopal seminarian and civil rights activist. In 1965 he was murdered by a shotgun-wielding construction worker, Tom Coleman, who was a special county deputy, in Hayneville, Alabama while in the act of saving 17 year old Ruby Sales,〔http://www.npr.org/2015/08/20/433257680/50-years-ago-a-white-seminarian-gave-his-life-to-the-civil-rights-movement〕 a young woman civil rights activist. They both were working in the Civil Rights Movement in Lowndes County. Daniels' death generated further support for the Civil Rights Movement.
In 1991 Daniels was designated as a martyr in the Episcopal church, and is recognized annually.〔〔For example, his image is included in the webpage of St Andrew's Episcopal Church of Birmingham, Alabama, see http://www.standrews-birmingham.org/〕 He is memorialized in the Civil Rights Movement and other venues.
== Biography ==
Born in Keene, New Hampshire, Jonathan Myrick Daniels was the son of Phillip Brock Daniels (July 14, 1904 - December 1959), a Congregationalist physician, and his wife Constance Weaver (August 20, 1905 - January 9, 1984). Daniels considered a career in the ministry as early as high school and joined the Episcopal Church as a young man. He attended local schools before graduating from the Virginia Military Institute.〔Sanborn, Karen, ("Remembering Jonathan Daniels: Part 1" ), ''The Keene Sentinel'', August 11, 2005.〕 He began to question his religious faith during his sophomore year, possibly because his father died and his sister Emily suffered an extended illness at the same time. He graduated as valedictorian of his class.
In the fall of 1961, Daniels entered Harvard University to study English Literature. In the spring of 1962, during an Easter service at the Church of the Advent in Boston, Daniels felt a renewed conviction that he was being called to serve God. Soon after, he decided to pursue ordination. After a working out of family financial problems, he applied and was accepted to the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, starting his studies in 1963 and expecting to graduate in 1966.
