This is a great video on the work of Congressman John Lewis and the Faith and Politics Institute, They are beginning their trip this week to visit many of the scenes of civil rights history in this country. Their trip, a bipartisan trip by members of Congress and other guests, will culminate in a re-enactment of the demonstration and bridge crossing that occurred 48 years ago in Selma, Alabama. That event became know as "Bloody Sunday" and will always be remembered that way. Basically, a police riot against peaceful protesters. I had the privilege of being a foot soldier for justice, marching and demonstrating in Selma for many days after that police action.
Faith and Politics Video Enjoy!
