Bloody Sunday 50 Years Later

I watch the national news featuring today in Selma, Alabama, remembering what came to be known as Bloody Sunday March 7, 1965, as African Americans were beaten and clubbed while peacefully marching for voting rights in the segregated South, where very few blacks were allowed to register to vote.  The shame of it all lives on.  Today we have an African American President although the Supreme Court has gutted a key portion of the Voting Right Act of 1965 which the Selma march directly lead to while Republicans conduct obvious voter suppression throughout the country.  Every step forward seems to lead to a step backward.  We are still fighting for voting rights 50 years after the key event in the modern civil rights movement that launched the fight for voting equality.
