From New Jersey-Fifty-two years have passed since destiny caught up with Jonathan Daniels, a 26-year-old white Episcopal seminary student from Massachusetts.
Destiny and fate frequently travel parallel with death and such an unexpected demise awaited Daniels as he, Richard Morrisroe, a Catholic priest, and two young black women were ambushed while attempting to buy soda pop in a Ft. Deposit, Alabama store on August 20, 1965.
Daniels jumped in front of a shotgun shell fired by white supremacist and special county deputy, Tom Coleman.
Coleman had targeted 17-year-old Ruby Sales who escaped injury but Daniels suffered a fatal wound.
