WASHINGTON, DC AUGUST 15: Ruby Sales, a veteran of the Civil Rights struggle of the 1960s, is photographed in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, August 15, 2015. Sales was almost killed 50 years ago, August 20, 1965, when a segregationist part time sheriff fired a shotgun at unarmed protesters who had just gotten out of jail. At the last moment, Sales was pushed out of the line of fire by an Episcopal seminarian, who was killed in her place. (Photo by Nikki Kahn/The Washington Post via Getty Images)
