Blood Brother : Jonathan Daniels and His Sacrifice for Civil Rights

“One of the most heroic Christian deeds of which I have heard in my entire ministry and career for civil rights was performed by Jonathan Daniels.”—DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

From the time he was a young boy growing up in New Hampshire, Jonathan Daniels searched for a purpose in life. He found that purpose in 1965 when he answered the call from Martin Luther King Jr. for white clergy to travel to the South and work alongside black residents for voting rights.

It was dangerous to challenge the ways of the segregated South. But Daniels stayed, fighting for justice for the rest of his short life.

In Blood Brother, the first biography about Jonathan Daniels for young adults, Rich Wallace and Sandra Neil Wallace put their investigative reporting skills to the test.

They located the teenagers who protested alongside Daniels, unearthed never-before-published private journals, and uncovered the previously unknown roles Jonathan played in major civil rights events.

Weaving a fast-paced, heart-pounding account of the danger Daniels faced and the depth of his activism, this is a passionate and inspiring portrait of an unsung freedom fighter whose story must be told.

“This well-told tale of Jonathan Daniels—one of the most courageous figures of an earlier civil rights movement—comes at a generational moment when America needs to hear this story.”—CORNELL WILLIAM BROOKS, president, NAACP
