March 7, 1965, John Lewis led hundreds of people across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma Alabama to oppose voting restriction of African Americans in the South. As we know he was beaten within an inch of his life. The day became known as Bloody Sunday. Today, this Sunday, as every year, people will once again march across that bridge in commemoration. Fifty-eight years since that galvanizing event during the Civil Rights movement, we need to continue and increase our march towards freedom, advocating for all to be able to vote. This Sunday may we pledge ourselves to that goal.
