It was 1965, and Civil Rights Activists were organizing a march for voting rights from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, Alabama.

On March 7th, 1965, the march began in Selma, and 150 Alabama State Troopers brutally attacked 600 peaceful protestors. 58 people were injured, and among them was former Representative John Lewis. The day became known as Bloody Sunday.

Today - just 60 years later - we honor those who fought so fiercely for equal access to the ballot box. They fought for equality in schools, in our communities, in our economies, and so much more.

Now, much of the spirit that motivated those activists to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge - two by two - lives on as we fight for the same principles.

Let their sacrifice and bravery be fuel to our fire - a reminder that this fight is so much bigger than any one of us, so much bigger than any single moment in our history.
