Who is James Bonard Fowler?

James Bonard Fowler became a significant player in escalating the acute racist conflict that led to the Selma to Montgomery marches in the American Civil Rights Movement. As a corporal in the Alabama State Police in 1965, he shot and killed an unarmed black man, Jimmie Lee Jackson, a killing that went without justice for 45 years.

He is also under investigation by the FBI for the 1966 shooting death of a second black man, Nathan Johnson, one year later.
