William R. Daniel | Shootout at Miracle Valley: The Search for Justice | Author and panel discuss 1982 Miracle Valley gunfight

William R. Daniel and a panel of a dozen deputies and officers involved in the 1982 gunfight at Miracle Valley visit with Shootout at Miracle Valley: The Search for Justice. After the infamous Arizona shootout between deputies and a Chicago preacher’s largely African-American congregation, the media, religious groups, politicans, and civil rights advocates reacted with outrage. But Daniel claims this was a hysteria based on the congregation's own bigotry, ignorance, and self-interest. Shootout at Miracle Valley: The Search for Justice continues where Shootout at Miracle Valley left off, chronicling the tumultuous events that followed the gunfight—a search for justice by citizens and sheriff deputies against what they regard as the powerful special interests that still shape state and national politics.
