"Blood Brother: Jonathan Daniels and His Sacrifice for Civil Rights" by Rich and Sandra Neil Wallace

"Blood Brother: Jonathan Daniels and His Sacrifice for Civil Rights" by Rich and Sandra Neil Wallace is a very informative biography of Jonathan Daniels life and giving everything to the Civil Rights Movement.  The book starts off telling much of Jonathan Daniels childhood and how he was raised, and on up to becoming an adult and him being unsure of what he wanted to do in his life.  Finally after much time, he decided to become a member of the Clergy.  In his early years in school to go into clergy, he attended the march on Washington and attended the "I Have A Dream" speech.  Later he continued to get involved in the Civil Rights Movement until he was murdered in 1965. The book continues to tell the events after his murder including the trial of Tom Coleman, the murderer of Jonathan Daniels.  He was acquitted and this started a movement to change the system in which juries are appointed.


Pros:
A historical book telling the story of a man that died fighting for Civil Rights.

Cons:
none
