“[W]e are indelibly and unspeakably one.”
Jonathan Daniels
Join with Episcopal Divinity School to mark the
50th
Anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement
through the
Jonathan Daniels and All Martyrs Annual Pilgrimage
In Hayneville, Alabama, and Atlanta, Georgia
Friday, August 10th
, - Sunday August 12th
2013
A stop at a lunch counter. A thousand arms linked at the elbows. A firing line of water hoses. A pack of German
Shepherds. A letter from a Birmingham jail. A world that would never be the same.
The year was 1963, and as the world watched, events in Birmingham sparked an unstoppable surge toward equal
rights for people of all races. As Alabama marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil Rights
Movement, you can be there to remember some of its martyrs, including former Episcopal Theological School
seminarian Jonathan Daniels.
Starting in 1999, the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama and other partners including the Commission on Race
Relations and the Episcopal Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast have sponsored an annual pilgrimage to honor
the lives of Jonathan Daniels and the 12 civil rights martyrs of Alabama. This year, Lifelong Learning at EDS is
organizing a three day pilgrimage to join them, and to mark the 50th
anniversary of the struggle that changed our
nation.
The EDS pilgrimage starts on Friday Aug. 10th
in Atlanta, Georgia, where participants will be received by the
Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, and will visit the birth home of Martin Luther King Jr., and the National Historic
Site dedicated to his memory. On Saturday, participants will take the four hour bus journey to Hayneville,
Alabama, to join other pilgrims for the Jonathan Myrick Daniels and All Martyrs Annual Pilgrimage.
The day’s events begin in Courthouse Square with a procession to the old county jail where Daniels and Ruby
Sales were detained for a week along with twenty-two other people who participated in a voter rights
demonstration in Fort Deposit, Alabama. The procession then moves to the old Cash Grocery Store where
Daniels died on Aug. 20 1965 shielding the
16-year old Sales. The pilgrimage concludes
in the Courthouse where the man who killed
Daniels was tried and acquitted. A service of
Holy Communion takes place in the
courtroom. EDS pilgrims will then either
stay overnight with local hosts or journey
back to Atlanta along the Civil Rights Trail.
Cost to participate is $75 and does not
include travel to Atlanta, museum entrance
fees, hotel accommodation (if desired) or
meals. Registration deadline is Friday July
25th
. A few limited travel scholarships are
available. To register, or for more
