Remembering 'Bloody Sunday' with its youngest participants
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 бер 2023
- On March 7, 1965 8-year old Sheyann Webb-Christburg and 11-year old Joanne Bland joined hundreds of others in a civil rights march that was ultimately met with violence, in what came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.” The event shocked the national conscience and contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Now, 58 years later, Webb-Christburg and Bland reflect on that period and the continued struggle for justice.“Talking about this history and talking about my experience has been therapeutic,” says Bland. At the time, she says, “no one came to talk to us. No counselors, no physiatrists…So we internalized a lot, and all of it wasn’t good.” The experience turned Webb-Christburg and Bland into activists for life. “If you want to see change, you must be a part of change,” Webb-Christburg tells the students she now inspires.

#BloodySunday #CivilRights #MSNBC
Thank you, ladies, from an old white lady who was a teenager in Baltimore on that day. Today's politics are breaking my heart.
There is hope in the young generation. They seem more progressive.
@@tyromecox3059 We just have to get them to the polls!
@Saving Democracy what do you mean by "Militant Blackism"?
But we are still here. We are not failing and that's why we are facing these problems.
@Saving Democracy what stupidity. Seems the "militant whiteism" is what was on display on Bloody Sunday and many days since then.
You are right, education is sorely needed.
Thank you ladies for your service. You were just as heroic as any soldiers going into battle, more so, because you were unarmed and up against dangerous armed men. America salutes you and your patriotism. 🇺🇸
Tell the truth. They were up against Democrats
Just say it already, they fought against Racost Democrats
A great American story told by great Americans. Thank you great Ladies ❤️💯
That's called HISTORY! Mr. Desantos
I just love these two women! They were two gutsy kids and I hope their stories move young people into action. We need action and most of all we need young people to use their voices! Thank you MSNBC for doing this piece. A must see and listen to. Peace and OH FREEDOM!

Thank you ladies. Your efforts benefited Latinos like me as well.
My heart is with the history of the Black community.
Should be John Lewis Bridge or one the black community decides
Great idea.
I thank both of you a great deal...kept doing what you are doing
WOW! This was so powerful. "Put me down! You're not running fast enough!" What a little badass! I love that these ladies are still fighting.
That line really touched me too.
I would like to thank both of you ladies for sharing an important moment in American history.
"We don't want our kids growing up in a racial jungle".... "If you don't vote for me, you ain't Black" Jim Crow Joe
True heroes! God bless you ladies for all you did then and are doing now. A history that NEEDS to be taught.
Two courageous American heroes. Thank you both for the sacrifices you made to move the cause of freedom forward.
We are so proud of these brave women who have been called according to his purposes, and they are not alone. They have never been alone, He promised never to leave us nor desert us. We can do nothing without Him. Thank you for such a great conversation. Glory to God alone. Blessed to be a blessing! 🕊

❤ thanks for this report!
"But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream."
~ Amos 5:24 🕊
I was only 8 when this went down, too, though I was living in Southern CA seeing only the shocking news footage. I am so deeply impressed by these two women, and those who marched with them. It is profoundly painful to see people working overtime to turn back the clocks, and pretend racism is no longer a "thing." I hope these two women get more and more airtime, and I appreciate Michael Steele for bringing them on.
Wow ! What a story....thanks for this ! 👏 👍
This made me cry...seeing the footage of the riot-dispersal team push against the protesters...traumatic indeed.
Remember, they were Democrats attacking them.
@@joecancer6013 Tell the whole truth. White supremest southern democrats during a time when neither side supported black Americans. During the time of Jim Crow. The civil war did NOT solve the problems of the black American. It was only the beginning of possibilities for all people of color. Hateful racist whites have been in the US government on both sides since the beginning so enough with Republicans aren’t racist crap!!!
I grew up under a dictatorship - I know what it's like to run for your life in protests such as this.
@@joecancer6013 this is not about democrats and republicans...it is about the powers-that-be wielding govt resources to oppress even further those who are already margibalized. It is about one group of folks thinking they are more superior and have all the right to dictate upon others what they believe to be the way things should be.
*marginalized
Thank you for showing the grown ups it was time to rise..courageous braveheart
It's wonderful to listen to these testimonies, the recollections and impact of Bloody Sunday on their lives. I am saddened, though, to see how much still needs to be done to make equals aming equals.
😂.. equal... We are all equal.
Blacks don't want equality, they are willing to benefit at the expense of other minorities. Example Affirmative Action and how it hurts Asian Americans
JOY!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ FIGHT ON!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Horrible what these women went through, all the freedom fighters, but especially the children, it makes me cry, how Inhumane they were treated, but I Also Thank God they had the Courage to do what they did Because it effected Change. THE WHOLE COUNTRY was watching, because of TV.. Amazing stories, I grew up in Iowa and I was 7 years old then, and I remember seeing this on TV. IT made me Cry way back then too, As it does today
I was 2 years old at the time of horrific incident but I remember reading about Bloody Sunday when I was older. So many people sacrificed their very lives so that we have the privilege to vote in this country.
Unfortunately not a hole lot has changed. The bridge still has the same name . We are still fighting voter suppression and Gerrymandering.
Voter suppression? They send ballots in the mail now. I bet you don't know the Democrats Owned the Slaves, the Wigs got replaced when the Republican party was formed to fight Slavery
This is so important to remember! Thanks for keeping these critical moments in history in the public eye.
We need more of each person and their experience as they are history . That "OH Freedom" was the first I read as a teenager and I remembered those words ever since.
These two women are excellent examples of American people who defend Freedom since childhood. Thank you.
These woman were a head of their time they're true hero's and I hope they received financial security for the rest of their lives, my family and I wish both women and their families the very best.
ALABAMA, ALABAMA, I AM SO GLAD I'M SO GLAD I WASN'T BORN THERE PERIOD.

Thank you, ladies, for your bravery and commitment to equality! ❤️
Good for them!!
Great women!!!
thank you ladies for your service to the civil rights movement
I wish I could thank the ladies personally. I proudly served in the military, but it was the service and sacrifice of people like them that made this country something I could be more proud to serve than I could have been in the past.
I'm soo honored to share this momentous occasion with my birth date. I'm disgusted living here in FL at the bulls*it desantis and his minions are trying to enact.
WE MUST ALL CARRY ON...!!! THESE TIMES ARE SERIOUS.. !!! ❤️
Even children have the " Don't TREAD ON ME " spirit..never give up
yes indeed we must not go back keep fighting for our children and grandchildren
“Bloody Sunday” became consciously ingrained into my mind when one of my older cousins from Selma came to visit us in Mississippi in 1971. He had a large scar on cut his arm that naturally drew my young inquisitive mind to it. I asked him straightforwardly how he got it. He looked at my grandmother and she nodded her head for him to tell me. I sat spellbound as he recounted the events of Easter Sunday 1965 - it was riveting!!! I never forgot that moment and as long as got older, l began looking up as much information on that event that l could find. When l met John Lewis in 2002, l remembered he was the first to fall in that light colored trench coat! What a moment!!!
Thank God for the both of you and for standing up for all of us may God continue to bless y'all and keep you safe in his arms sending love from Louisiana
Thank GOD for these ladies. I had to honor of attending and graduating from Thee Alabama State University, meeting and getting to know Mrs. Webb-Christburg.
God bless you and your courage. You are both shining examples that age doesn't matter, courage and belief does.
Great work ladies on such a trying day. It is unfortunate that so much of what you accomplished is being undone

❣️❤️❤️❣️ Thank you for telling your stories!
The children of the civil rights movement are so strong. I’m sorry for the suffering they endured so that we today can be who we are
Excellent discussion 👏 👌
And this is what they don’t want people to find out about when they go to school. I will make sure my child knows.
These admirable ladies are icons of one of the most epic struggles for human rights. As a young girl I remember seeing the six o'clock news where activists were beaten mercilessly then taken to jail for the audacity of claiming the right to be treated as humans. Every day the news would report another protest met with institutional violence, rabid dogs, beatings and merciless treatment by the authorities. I was young and didn't understand much. But in my young mind I knew that what was happening was wrong. I saw it all on our black and white TV and it was wrong. Nobody had to explain much. It was all there for everyone to see.
Blacks will NEVER let that happen again❗If I was them I don't think I could've stayed peaceful after that march & that was a iconic pic of that little girl with Dr. King ✊💛
my dad had the second tv in the county. he had us kids watching the news by 7yo. and ask us q's, one night there was a broadcast of a lynching in the south. he told all, if anyone is ever nasty to anyone dont let them do it again ever, tell an adult.
Did he tell you the Democrats are the ones who did the hangings?
Thank you for featuring these two amazing activists--even more amazing in that they were so brave and aware at such a young age! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Their spirits are amazing.
"But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak anymore in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot."

great coverage, thanks
Those little brave girls, so proud of them.
Thank you very much ☺
You misspelled "psychiatrists" in your description text.
Good work Sheyann!!
I'm very proud of this child God bless you baby
How True!!!!
There are so many untold stories bad mix with the good Asiatic black people been through a whole lot to get where they're at today our ancestors did not deserve to be treated this way treat people like you want to be treated. That's the only way I live I want my reparations 100 million
Its time for REPARATIONS! If not now - WHEN! I was 11 when this happened, but my 'white' parents shielded me from ANY news about it! How can ANY human being be so hate-filled & cruel! Reparations & a Huge National Apology, is the very Least we can now do, but we must!!
Bloody Sunday was in Ireland , song by U2 , Sir Bono
Amen. 🙏
Freedom, which is farrrrr from being free of charge...
Has been and will always ring loudest the more ot costs
Let Freedom Ring
Wow.
Bloody Sunday! Love them Brits!
it's good to see Steel do a complete turnaround from disparaging our 1st black president, to denouncing his racist party
Pass voting rights and freedom to vote and John Lewis advancement voting rights act
Right? Black people are clearly far too stupid to have the ability to attain a photo ID. Dems told me so. Gotta fight racism. 💙
A Republican
I wonder, how much harder would it be for the GOOP, if ALL elections could & would, be done by MAIL & Drop Box - ONLY! Oh, & each County must be provided the # of drop boxes commensurate to their population!!
Black girl magic at its best
Good trouble
"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. But you, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of corruption; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live out half their days.
But as for me, I put my trust in you."
~ Psalm 55:22-23 (NIV) 🕊
U2 wrote a song about this!
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other."
~ Jesus Christ, 15:16-17 (NIV)
In light of DeSantis' beliefs about what privileged white children should not be exposed to, privileged only by virtue of their skin tone, not only should white children absolutely know what black children have been exposed to and know about the inevitable trauma they must live with, it is an insult if they do not. Ladies, I had no idea that children were in the thick of the movement, in the thick of the violence, and I am awed by your story.
That's called good sneeking!!
this would be banned in Florida education
RIP Ashli Babbitt
"My command is this: Love ❤️ each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down is life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made know to you."
~ Jesus Christ, John 15:12-15 (NIV) 🕊
Mr Desantis should watch this
teaching Black people ther the ONLY people who didn't have a perfect past, ya that will bring us together ?
There was 3 black girls in New orleans did the same thing
Adults have everything under control!?!? Really!??😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I’ve had too many Slava beers this Slava Sunday 🇺🇦🍺🍺🇺🇦
Hello folks good morning it's a beautiful evening maybe try him as president what could it hurt
From protestor to victim, I do not understand that from these two women.
Good ol msnc. Never let an opportunity to make your viewers cry go to waste.
The race baiters msdnc
Are you serious? Wow!!
No one cares; and better yet no one should care
Big shout out to Governor DeSantis for banning CRT and drag queen shows in schools,.

Is your whiteness and heterosexuality so fragile that you feel that threatened? Poor little guy.
Time for Donnie TRUMP to go tan his testicles. Tucker says it's the RIGHT thing to do when your sperm count is low.
Happy Sunday facts day. Tuckers J6 video tape report is coming soon.😁
I seen lot of cell phone videos from Jan 6 on Bitchute. UA-cam censoring hard
Thank god Joe Biden was there. It’s good to see the head klansman coming to terms with the errors of his ways. Oh, and Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
