And James Bonard Fowler, the white former Alabama state trooper who shot and killed black civil rights worker Jimmie Lee Jackson in 1965, has died at the age of 81. Fowler shot Jackson in Mack’s Café in Marion, Alabama, on February 18, 1965. Jackson died eight days later. The killing was a seminal moment which set off the first Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march, known as Bloody Sunday. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached at Jackson’s funeral. But it wasn’t until 45 years later, in 2010, that Fowler pleaded guilty to the killing, apologized and served five months in jail. Fowler died on Sunday.
