Review
Blood Brothers is a biography of a civil rights activist named Jonathan Daniels. Daniels was a seminary student that became involved in the Civil Rights movement in Alabama in the 1960s. He worked in an area of the country that wasn't ready to allow black people to vote, even though it was the law. And because he was a white man helping to get this changed, people resented and hated him. This story is filled with photos and descriptions of what happened right up to the moment Daniels was murdered. It also looks at his trial and why the man that murdered him did not end up behind bars. Interesting read on this time period in US history.
