Anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, AL
About this event
On March 7, 1965 civil rights marchers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge and encountered a wall of state troopers and county posse. The marchers were beaten with nightsticks and fired upon with tear gas. John Lewis suffered a skull fracture and bore scars on his head from the incident for the rest of his life.
The League of Women Voters supports justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
