Gladden Smith, who was driving a car that fatally injured civil rights protester Margaret Ann Knott during a sit-in in 1971, recalls the accident during an interview at his home near Atmore, Ala., on Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Smith, who was never prosecuted, said he never intended to harm anyone and regrets what happened that day. The victim's mother, Carrie Johnson, says she does not blame Smith for her daughter's death.
