We remember the March 7, 1965 horror of Selma.

From a speech given by the President to the Congress, March 15, 1965.

"At times, history and fate meet at a single time in a single place to shape a turning point in man's unending search for freedom. So it was at Lexington and Concord. So it was a century ago at Appomattox. So it was last week in Selma, Alabama. There, long suffering men and women peacefully protested the denial of their rights as Americans. Many of them were brutally assaulted."

The entire speech:

And there is still so far to go.


 
I'm going to have the last word here. Tom, thanks for posting this. We should never forget Selma. I'm locking this thread as I don't want it to turn into a debate about race. The point is well made with Tom's first post.
