NPR promos its show “White Lies,”
the story of 38-year-old Rev. James Reeb, Unitarian
Universalist preacher,
beaten to death after dinner
in an integrated restaurant in Selma, 55 years ago.
Reeb’d traveled to Selma after the beating and shooting murder
of 26-year-old Jimmie Lee Jackson—the youngest deacon in his, Jimmie’s, church—
a month earlier.
Reeb’s death garnered more attention from the movement, the press, and LBJ
than ever Jimmie Lee’s.
