DAY 5 -- SELMA.
In Selma, sojourners visit the National Voting Rights Museum & Institute. Joanne Bland, the director, and other movement veterans conduct a tour of the city, which remains much the same as it was in the 1960s. The group walks across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where civil rights marchers led by John Lewis and Hosea Williams were stopped, beaten and gassed by Alabama State troopers on Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965. At lunchtime, they meet key players in the Selma march. The group bids farewell to Selma and travel on to Montgomery. |
