Blood Brother: Jonathan Daniels and His Sacrifice for Civil Rights - Inspiring Civil Rights Movement Story for History Enthusiasts and Social Justice Advocates

“With my black brothers at my side, there was no longer anything to fear in all of Creation except my own blindness” - Jonathan DanielsFound this is the “New Releases” section in my local library – a random find I don’t regret picking up and have since purchased. This book is outstanding. The story of this amazing human being’s life and fight for equality and civil rights is one that everyone should really discover. As I read this, I was saddened to have never heard of Jonathan Daniels which made this book a heart-pumping read. My admiration for those who fought for Civil Rights continues to grow, and Jonathan Daniels will be someone I will continue to share about; he talked the talk – unwavering and fearless during a time where being a civil right’s leader or activist/protester was amazingly brave – and where being a white civil right’s worker was the most courageous, dangerous, human right effort. As shown in this book, his sincere heart, his genuine actions, his unwavering dedication, his love for people; love and efforts for equality, his unending energy, enthusiasm and hope; and his sacrifice and spirit should continue to inspire us all, even now. He did me. This book; with its countless pictures (and documents, flyers, letters, clippings, etc.) propel the storytelling and give us a name and face to the numerous Civil Rights heroes of the time, both African American and Caucasian. From people who worked closely with Jonathan, who witnessed his passion, were inspired with him, and/or changed by him, this book a turn-pager. “Blood Brother” is powerful and emotional, human and important. It reminds you that one person can, indeed, make a difference and that students and young people can inspire change. The message is timeless and relevant in today’s society. Bravo to the authors who’ve written and research this book and this amazing life. Read this book!
