Today In History
The first Selma to Montgomery march began on Sunday, March 7, led by SNCC chairman John Lewis and the Reverend Hosea Williams of SCLC.
Predating the march, Reverend C.T. Vivian led a peaceful march to the courthouse in Marion, Alabama on February 18, 1965, to protest the arrest of DCVL member James Orange. On the way to the courthouse, Alabama state troopers attacked the marchers, shooting Jimmie Lee Jackson in the process. Jackson died eight days later, prompting James Bevel of SCLC to call for a march from Selma to Montgomery to speak with Governor George Wallace about Jimmie Lee Jackson’s death.
The march proceeded without any interruptions until the protesters arrived at the Edmund Pettus Bridge where they were met with violence by Alabama law enforcement officials. Amelia Boynton was beaten unconscious. John Lewis suffered a skull fracture from the attack, and later mentioned he thought he was going to die that day. After this terrifying ordeal was over, more than 60 marchers would be injured. This day would become known as “Bloody Sunday.”

John Lewis quote please and thank you 🙏

This year alone, at least 284 bills that restrict voter access have been introduced across the country. In 14 states, at least 17 new voter suppression laws will be in effect for the 2024 General Election.
Especially now, we NEED federal voting rights protections to ensure all Americans are able to freely and fairly cast their ballots.
We urge the Senate to pass The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Every American should be able to make their voice heard in our democracy. The power should be in the hands of the people.
