Jose Garibay was a 77-year-old UFW advocate who spent his life fighting for farmworkers. 🏛️ To see him found dead behind his counter in Selma is a tragedy beyond words. The suspect's reckless flight—driving with a car hood open—led to an arrest, but the loss is permanent. 🕊️💔 #UFW #Selma #Justice

David is 50 years old today. The classically trained, self-assured British-Nigerian actor famously portrayed Martin Luther King Jr. in #Selma.

Edmund Pettus Bridge. March 7, 1965. Bloody Sunday.
John Lewis's skull was fractured by state troopers on that bridge. He crossed it again 45 times before he died.
Selma is marching today. In his name. In everyone's name. #NoKings #Alabama #Selma #JohnLewis

On this day in 1965, 25,000 people reached Montgomery after marching 54 miles for voting rights.
Stewart Hugh was one of them.
That fight for justice did not end then, and it is not over now.
Defend voting rights. Protect Black history. Keep going.

She learned about a Detroit mother killed by the Klan in 1965. Drove to Alabama at 19. Worked undercover investigating neo-Nazis. Has returned every year since. Now she’s running for governor. The question: can a state that nearly voted for Trump let her finish the work? #JocelynBenson #Selma
March 22, 1965 - 3,200 civil rights demonstrators, led by the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and under protection of a federalized National Guard, began a third attempt at a week-long march from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol at Montgomery in support of voting rights for black Americans.

#Selma proved change is possible and exposed how much hatred runs beneath the surface.
Decades later, that same ugliness is still fueled, excused, & weaponized by those clinging to “tradition” over justice.
America didn’t outgrow it—it just got better @ hiding it until it couldn’t anymore. 🤷♂️

March 21, 1965 - 61 years ago was the start of the third march from Selma to Montgomery. Today, I honor those that marched, fought for the right to vote and equality.

Immigration Enforcement is NOT the same as JIM CROW!
And how dare you all allow such a disrespectful display of our ancestors struggles to be erased in such a manner like this? Huh!?!?!?
#Selma #Alabama #BloodySunday #Immigration #JimCrow
I know my eyes are not deceiving me.
I know they did not try to recreate Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama and correlate our struggle with immigrants!?
See, first it was LGBTQ+’doin this type of correlation and we didn’t shut it down.
THIS NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN NOW!!
#BloodySunday #Selma #Immigrants
I’m starting to realize how my ancestors who were migrating up north after the civil war were treated….by immigrants.
It’s literally happening again, but I fear if y’all bring “Red Summer” again, they’ll be more of y’all falling
#Selma #Alabama #EdmundPettus #Immigrants #Ice
This is disrespectful as hell.
To use our ancestors struggle and hop on it after both your communities have openly disrespected ours???
Oh, this is a STOLEN VALOR performance

Johnson was talking about voting rights. This was only a week after Bloody Sunday when hundreds of peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama were set upon and viciously beaten by police. The demonstrators were calling on authorities to let people of color register to vote, something the segregationist leaders of Alabama would not allow.
So, President Johnson wrote the Voting Rights Act, which authorized the federal government to protect the voting rights long denied in southern states, like Alabama.
In his speech on this day in 1965, Johnson used the language of the voting rights movement to call on lawmakers to support the movement. And they did, though it required Johnson to spend six months politically twisting the arms of some representatives and senators.
US President Lyndon Baines Johnson addresses a joint session of Congress on March 15, 1965. The speech, titled "The American Promise," detailed the need for the Voting Rights Act, which LBJ had written over the previous week after Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama Video and audio of the full address are available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NvPhiuGZ6I
“We shall overcome.”
