Dr. William Dinkins first attended to Jackson when he arrived to the Good Samaritan Hospital in Selma. In a 1979 interview for America, They Loved You Madly, a precursor to Eyes on the Prize, Dr. Dinkins recounts the actions he took in caring for Jackson and what he witnessed leading up to (and after) the death of Jackson eight days later on February 26, 1965. Sister Michael Anne, an administrator at the hospital, later said there were powder burns on Jackson's abdomen, indicating that he was shot at very close range.
