⚖️#ArtIsAWeapon Honoring and remembering the known and unknown freedom fighters on this 58th anniversary of #BloodySunday. May their courage, wisdom and sacrifices empower us to keep fighting for justice and liberation. #Image: “The Saints of Selma” #Artist: @kellylatimoreicons (repost) Those in the icon from left to right: Front row: Rosa Parks, John Lewis, Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King, Ralph Abernathy.

Vivian • VIA @eji_org https://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/mar/07 On March 7, 1965, state and local police used billy clubs, whips, and tear gas to attack hundreds of civil rights activists beginning a march from #Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery. The activists were protesting the denial of voting rights to African Americans as well as the murder of 26-year-old activist Jimmie Lee Jackson, who had been fatally shot in the stomach by police during a peaceful protest just days before. The march was led by #JohnLewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (#SNCC) and Reverend #HoseaWilliams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (#SCLC). The marchers crossed the #EdmundPettusBridge and found themselves facing a line of state and county officers poised to attack. When demonstrators did not promptly obey the officers' order to disband and turn back, troopers brutally attacked them on horseback, wielding weapons and chasing down fleeing men, women, and children. Dozens of civil rights activists were later hospitalized with severe injuries. Horrifying images of the violence were broadcast on national television, shocking many viewers and helping to rouse support for the civil rights cause. Activists organized another march two days later, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. urged supporters from throughout the country to come to Selma to join. Many heeded his call, and the events helped spur passage of the #VotingRightsAct of 1965 three months later. #thesaintsofselma #Vote #VotingRights #Blackliberation #WomensHistoryMonth #WhiteSupremacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CpahlB_uQhm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On March 7, 1965 — now known as Bloody Sunday — John Lewis and Hosea Williams led over 500 marchers through the streets of Selma, Alabama, demanding Black Americans' right to vote. They planned to walk the 54 miles to Montgomery, to bring awareness to the fight for voting rights.

When the group crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, about 150 state troopers, sheriff's deputies and onlookers stood in their path. The troopers gave a two-minute warning for the protesters to disperse before advancing with tear gas and clubs. Dozens were injured and hospitalized, including John Lewis.

Footage of the unprovoked violence by state troopers and bystanders against the peaceful protesters shocked the nation and galvanized the fight against racial injustice. The heightened awareness created by the shocking footage was a major factor in the passage of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Today we celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of those who marched on Bloody Sunday, and we recommit to the fight for equal access to the ballot box.
