Harris to walk across Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday anniversary
By Maegan Vazquez, CNN - 2h ago

Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, where she will walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to mark the 57th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, a key moment in the civil rights moment.

Bloody Sunday commemorates when, in 1965, 600 people began a march from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, Alabama, demanding an end to discrimination in voter registration. At the Edmund Pettus Bridge, state and local lawmen attacked the marchers with billy clubs and tear gas, driving them back to Selma. Seventeen people were hospitalized and dozens were more injured by police.

The vice president will also meet with civil rights leaders and deliver remarks while in Alabama, according to the White House. She will be joined by Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan, and Deputy Secretary of Veteran Affairs Donald Remy.

Harris, who is the first Black and first South Asian woman to hold the vice presidency, has attended previous anniversary events in Selma.

Nothing like the descendant of slave owners and a member of the slave owners and KKK party taking in part in an event involving civil rights.

Exactly. I thought she had left for Europe to convince Pootin' to stop being a meanie. She's still here? Gee, maybe the administration doesn't want the Ukraine war to end, after all.

Or maybe they are afraid she will seal the deal on the start of WWIII. Her cackling could have unintended consequences.lol

The Selma march was a protest against Democrats and their policies.  I hope Harris understands that.

All she understands is the cameras and microphones...

Seal the deal means something else to Kamelass. She needs her knee pads to do that.

Those who marched in Selma, marched for the freedom to vote and all the rights and freedoms that voting unlocks: economic justice, social justice, racial justice. We must do the same
