Bloody Sunday

“Vote like you’ve never voted before.”

March 1, 2020

Rep. John Lewis in Selma, Alabama for the 55th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

“We cannot give up now, we cannot give in,” Lewis told the cheering crowd. “We must keep the faith. Keep the eyes on the prize. We must go out and vote like we never, ever voted before.”

The annual commemoration of Bloody Sunday has always had a dual focus: honoring Lewis and the others who marched for voting rights on March 7, 1965, and highlighting issues that continue to face African Americans in present day.”
