day, professor? >> it means that if we -- we should find out how much people really love the civil rights movement and dr. martin luther king, because his name is not only invoked on his birthday, but his name is always invoked throughout the entire year. listen, it's just a matter of time where we have to pick another city to make an example of the curtailment of voting rights in this country. we may need another selma movement, and i think that it's important for us to understand -- and i teach my students this all the time. politicians and lawmakers do not roll out of bed to pass legislation. they have to be forced to. african american political history is an exceptional history. which means that so as the grass roots black movement goes, so does voting rights and civil rights. i mean, they all are connected, and i think that we're at the

Despite virtual stream, 'Bloody Sunday' commemoration goes on in Selma


Montgomery Advertiser
SELMA, Ala. — The process was different for this year's commemoration of "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, but the spirit was the same.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 56th commemoration of the event was largely virtual. And the event was missing one of its regular attendees – John Lewis. The civil rights icon passed away last year at the age of 80.
But the event still memorialized the proceedings of March 7, 1965, when hundreds of civil rights foot soldiers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in an attempt to march to Montgomery in support of voting rights for Blacks.
They were met on the east side of the bridge by Alabama State Troopers and mounted sheriff's posse men and brutally beaten. The images of that day and the national outrage that resulted helped led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In the wake of the carnage on the bridge, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. put out a call for people to come to Selma. Two weeks later another march began. That time it succeeded in reaching Montgomery.
