SELMA, AL
The Rev. James Reeb, a Unitarian Universalist minister from
Boston, was among a group of ministers who traveled to Alabama in
response to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s invitation to join
the Selma to Montgomery march. Reeb's daughter Anne says an FBI
agent told family members the case is being pursued.
On March 9, Reeb and two other white ministers had just finished
dinner in downtown Selma at a historically black restaurant when
they were attacked by a gang of whites.
The 38-year-old Reeb died two days later. Three men charged in
the killing were acquitted by an all-white jury.
