Selma, Alabama and the Civil Rights Movement

Selma, Alabama is known far and wide as the site of brutal clubbing and tear gas attack by police on Voting Rights Marchers on March 7,1965.  Eric and I planned to visit the Brown Chapel AME Church and the Edmund Pettus Bridge, site of the televised assault on peaceful marchers.  Selma is the home of The National Voting Rights Museum and Institute.










This church is where the
Voting Rights March started.

Voting Rights Activists crossed

the bridge and were met 

by police with tear gas

and billy clubs.

Eric is standing at the site
where Bloody Sunday occurred.

This museum is full

of Civil Rights displays.
