Presentation transcript:

 The Selma to Montgomery March took place in March of 1965  Local demonstrators mounted a protest against Alabama's Jim Crow laws, which made it nearly impossible for African Americans to vote.  The marchers sought passage of a national law that would secure equal voting rights for African Americans.

 A city with overt institutional racism, Selma, Alabama was a stronghold of segregation.  In 1961 only 156 out of 15,000 African Americans were registered to vote.  Late in 1964, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) decided to make Selma its focus.  Many protests were staged, several of which ended in violence and arrest.  Another, on February 16, ended in the death of marcher Jimmie Lee Jackson

Bloody Sunday by U2  I can’t believe the news today Oh, I can’t close my eyes and make it go away How long...How long must we sing this song? How long? how long... ’cause tonight...we can be as one Tonight...  Broken bottles under children’s feet Bodies strewn across the dead end street But I won’t heed the battle call It puts my back up Puts my back up against the wall Sunday, bloody Sunday  And the battle’s just begun There’s many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart Sunday, bloody Sunday  How long...How long must we sing this song? How long? how long... ’cause tonight...we can be as one  Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away Sunday, bloody Sunday  And it’s true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV reality And today the millions cry We eat and drink while tomorrow they die The real battle yet begun (Sunday, bloody Sunday) To claim the victory Jesus won Sunday bloody Sunday Click here to play song!
