The bridge at Selma

On March 7, 1965, hundreds of voting rights activists marched out of Selma, Ala., for the State Capitol in Montgomery. They only made it to the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where authorities set upon them. The violence of that “Bloody Sunday,” broadcast across the nation, was remembered by activists who returned to Selma 50 years later. Charles Osgood reports.

It is incredibly inspiring to see that the mayor of Selma is black after the horror that was committed just a few decades earlier.

I respect the fact that one of those protesters who died at this march was a white female fighting for our liberation. RIP ❤✊🏿✊🏻

Interesting that John Lewis was not even named.

[@stellashepherd844]

Sad. MLK got a lot of credit but he wasn’t there on Bloody Sunday. John Lewis was right there at the head of the line getting beaten.

The name of this bridge can be changed, but until the Black culture is, nothing else will.
