I was so enamored with being on the media riser when Obama gave that speech in Selma, I didn't hear all of his words. I was also focusing on my shots. It was one of my most historic ventures participating in the #Selma50
A few of my Delta Sigma Theta sorors meeting to cross the Edmund Pettis Bridge for the Selma 50
Just some of my Divine 9 sisters & brothers who marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge for the Selma 50, on March 8, 2015, for the reenactment of Bloody Sunday.

Why are we just hearing about Renice being at #Selma50. Where is everyone else? Did he march alone? http://t.co/Z9B6noaYCb
yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet,
come to the place for which our fathers sighed? #Selma50
Celebrate change. #WTM15 #Selma50 We are no where near where we should be, but we are not where we had been. #TowardsAMorePerfectUnion
Here's the video of President Obama's powerful, impassioned speech at Selma. If missed, DO watch it in full #Selma50:
Interview today on #CNN of daughter of former Selma mayor Smitherman a sad eye opener http://bit.ly/180lGEm #Selma50
What I didn't hear is any acknowledgement of the work young activists ARE putting in. "'I have a dream' of 21st century" my ass. #Selma50
I heard "Young people need to remember Selma and stop being angry because it's better but not really but kinda." #Selma50
I heard Obama wagging the finger at "young people" who don't vote within a $-driven political system they justifiably do not trust. #Selma50
Overheard Douglas Brinkley on CNN saying Obama's safe ass speech at #Selma50 was the "I Have A Dream" speech for the 21st century. GTFOH.
I will think of #Selma50 every time I cast my ballot to VOTE!
"One day's commemoration however special is not enough." How about cleaning up blight at foot of Pettus Bridge for a start? #Selma50
"Don't give up on the things that have meaning to you.... We all live in the same house, the American house." @repjohnlewis #Selma50
We have switched to CSPAN3 to see #Selma50 speeches uninterrupted by commentary
