#OTD in 1965, #BloodySunday, John Lewis & hundreds of nonviolent activists began their historic march from #Selma to #Montgomery to fight for African Americans' right to #vote. Today, we honor those who sacrificed their lives for #EqualRights.

ALT #Onthisday in 1965, John Lewis and hundreds of nonviolent activists began their historic 54-mile march from Selma, Alabama to the steps of the state capital in Montgomery to fight for African Americans' right to vote. The marchers were met by state troopers and county officers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge and were brutally attacked on this day that is now known as “Bloody Sunday.”
ALT Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and civil rights leaders mobilized supporters from across the country the following days and weeks, leading 25,000 people to the capital steps on March 25, 1965.
ALT The Selma to Montgomery March and Bloody Sunday were catalysts for the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 just three months later. Today, we honor those who sacrificed their lives to protect and exercise our constitutional right to vote.
#RosaParks galvanized the #CivilRightsMovement when she refused to surrender her seat to a white passenger in a Montgomery, AL bus in 1955. #Didyouknow #ClaudetteColvin did exactly the same thing 9 months before?
