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.”

WE LOVE SALMA

It's September 2nd. 🎂 On this day in 1966, in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico, Hollywood movie star Salma Valgarma Hayek Jiménez was born. Of course, we know her as Salma Hayek. "Salma" is Arabic for "peace" or "calm." Her father is of Lebanese descent and her mother is of Mexican/Spanish ancestry. At the age of 12, Hayek attended the Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans, Louisiana, but was soon sent back home after getting in trouble for frequently terrorizing the nuns. What a naughty girl! After attending Mexico City's Universidad Iberoamericana, Hayek began pursuing an acting career. She played the title role in Teresa (1989), a hugely successful Mexican telenovela. Then it was on to Hollywood, where she achieved superstar status in movies such as Desperado (1995), Wild Wild West (1999) and Frida (2002), which was her pet project and earned her a Best Actress Academy Award nomination. Hayak recently announced that she'll star as Ajak, the wise and spiritual leader of the "Eternals" in the Marvel super-hero film of the same name, to be released on November 5th, 2021. While Hayek is adored worldwide as a glamorous movie star, she isn't just a pretty face – she's fluent in Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. ☮️ Salma… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
