Tomorrow it is supposed to rain so we are going for another road trip. We are headed about four hours north to Selma, Alabama or the center of the civil rights movement of the 1960's. Selma is a town of around 20,000 people but while not large was still considered the home of the civil rights movement due to the unfair practices that were in place as it pertained to voter registration and voting in general for minorities. We are looking forward to the trip. Hope to post some good pictures of the Edmund Pettus Bridge where the March 7, 1965 Bloody Sunday march took place which was from Salem to Montgomery to protest voting inequalities. This march was pivotal to drawing national attention to the voting issues of the south and was key to the Voting Rights Act. While the town is about 80% black in the early 60's 99% of the registered voters in Selma were white.
