#OnThisDay in 1965, Rev. James Reeb, a 38-year-old white from Boston, Massachusetts, died two days after being brutally beaten by white supremacists in Selma, Alabama. Reeb had traveled to Selma to support the civil rights movement following the events of "Bloody Sunday." Three men were initially arrested by Selma police for the attack and released on bail, but they were promptly re-arrested by the FBI on charges of violating Reeb's civil rights. Reeb's death prompted national outcries against the actions of white racists in the South. #SelmaCampaign #StrongerTogether #60years
