The Edmund Pettus Bridge, Selma Alabama

The celebration of Martin Luther King Jr's birthday seems like a good day to show this image.
On March 7th 1965, "Bloody Sunday" some 600 civil rights marchers were headed east from Selma to Montgomery. As they crested this rise on the bridge they were attacked by Alabama State Troopers with tear gas and billy clubs. 17 marchers, including John Lewis, were hospitalized and 50 more were treated for lesser injuries. The attack was brutal and unjustified. The men and women who were on that bridge are American heros. Their sacrifice was for all of us. America has come so far since 1965 but still there is so far to go. As Dr King so brilliantly said when he paraphrased Theodore Parker, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
