The white supremacist J-B Stoner, who was convicted for bombing a black church in 1958, has died at a nursing home in Georgia/USA at the age of 81. Stoner was a staunch anti-Semite and viciously opposed the civil rights movement. He was a suspect in the bombing of the Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, but was not indicted until 1977. He eventually served three and a-half years in prison. The church was empty at the time of the bombing. During his years of activism, Stoner revived a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan, organized a political party – the Stoner Anti-Jewish Party – ran for governor of Georgia and represented Martin Luther King's assassin, James Earl Ray, in court.
