Anniversary
of voting rights
march honored
Associated Press
SELMA, Ala. — Blacks celebrated
the 20th anniversary of the voting
rights march from Selma to Mont
gomery with a new pilgrimage Sun
day to “resurrect the spirit” of the
civil rights struggle.
“We have unfinished business,”
said the Rev. Jesse Jackson as several
hundred blacks assembled for a sym
bolic mass crossing of the Edmund
Pettus Bridge to start the five-day
journey. Police dashed with black
marchers at the bridge across the Al
abama River on “Bloody Sunday” in
1965.
The march ends Thursday at Ala
bama’s Capitol and follows tne route
that helped change the nation’s po
litical landscape by opening polling
booths across the South to blacks.
At Brown Chapel, a landmark of
the 1965 voting rights protest, Jack-
son and march organizer the Rev.
Joseph Lowery were given keys to
tfie city by Selma’s white mayor, Joe
Smitherman.
“We have come a long, long, way,”
said Lowery, president of the South
ern Christian Leadership Confer
ence. “But we have a long, long way
to go.”
Jackson called Selma “hallowed
ground” and said Sunday’s demon
stration was “to resurrect the spirit
of our struggle.”
After a worship service, marchers
formed ranks outside Brown Chapel
for the eight-block walk to the
bridge.
Smitherman, who acknowledged
that he opposed the marchers 20
years ago, said the goal now is “to cut
out all this foolish race-baiting.” At
one point during the church service
he snared a hymnal with Jackson as
they sang “The Battle Hymn of the
Republic.”
What became known as “Bloody
Sunday” in the annals of the civil
rights movement inspired an even
larger march, backed by a federal
court order and National
Guardsmen, on March 21, 1965.
That 50-mile journey from Selma
to Alabama’s Capitol, in which King
joined blacks ana whites from across
the country, prompted Congress to
pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The law made illegal the intimida
tion used to deny the ballot to blacks
or discourage them from going to
Deep South courthouses to register
to vote.
History today
Associated Press
Today’s highlight in history.
On March 4, 1789, the Constitu
tion of the United States went into
effect as the first Federal Congi ess
met in New York. The lawmakers
had to adjourn for the lack of a quo
rum.
In 1861, the Confederacy
adopted the “Stars and Bars” flag
design.
In 1917, Republican Jeannette
Rankin of Montana took her seat as
a member of Congress, the first
woman to be elected to the House of
Representatives.
In 1933, in his inaugural address,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
pledged effective leadership to pull
the country out of the Great Depres
sion, saying, “The only thing we
have to fear is fear itself.”
In 1952, actress Nancy Davis and
actor Ronald Reagan were married.
