Bloody Sunday Remembered

(WOLO) SELMA, ALABAMA — Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush joined civil rights leaders in Selma, Alabama Saturday to remember the 600 marchers that were attacked by state and local police as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, known as “Bloody Sunday”. The protesters, led by John Lewis and Hosea Williams, were attempting to march from Selma to Montgomery in support of voting rights. The event led to the now iconic march two weeks later when Martin Luther King, Jr. successfully led over 35-hundred people from Selma to the state capitol. (Source: CNN)
