On March 7, 1965 six-hundred peaceful protesters were marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama for the right to vote. Alabama State Police brutally attacked and used tear gas against the crowd while reporters and television camera broadcast the images of horror to the world. That was 52 years ago, that day is known as “Bloody Sunday”. This was a pivotal point in the Civil Rights movement and today the Voting Rights Act is still under attack and efforts to suppress the minority vote still exist in this country. Do not take your right to vote for granted.
