  • A half a century ago, African Americans demanding the right to vote began a march from Selma, Alabama to the state capitol in Montgomery. But, they didn't get far before being met by violence. Bill Plante reports from Selma to tell us more about the anniversary and his upcoming sit down with the President.

    I am SO THANKFUL that I have lived thru the civil rights movement & lived to see an African American president. In 50 years, much has been accomplished, but not nearly enough. It grieves me greatly to see how folks of color are still treated in 2015. But they have NO IDEA how it actually was in the 1960's. Don't believe this is what Jesus meant when he commanded us to "love one another". why must it be so difficult ????????

      Folks of color were never the ones discriminating and oppressing people.

    I still can't wrap my head around the idea of racial predjudice. I am reminded of the saying "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything". Weak people believe words instead of facts.
