Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, where she will walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to mark the 57th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, a key moment in the civil rights moment. Bloody Sunday commemorates when, in 1965, 600 people began a march from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, Alabama, demanding an end to discrimination in voter registration. At the Edmund Pettus Bridge, state and local lawmen attacked the marchers with billy clubs and tear gas, driving them back to Selma. Seventeen people were hospitalized and dozens were more injured by police. The vice president will also

Happily, even if they rename the bridge as they surely will, all the history books telling about the civil rights movement will still have to refer to it as the Edmund Pettus Bridge, named after a Confederate general.

The Administration didn't choose to send a black person to do this?

What a CROCK. Dems were responsible for slavery, for the Civil War, the Klu Klux Klan, Jim Crow, segregation...and now a good for nothing politician is gonna walk across a bridge to show solidarity with blacks and the end of voter discrimination that the Dems were responsible for in the first place. smh

Why is it that the two black-ish people who made it to the Executive branch within the Democratic Party have no family history of American slaves? Not one of their ancestors was held in bondage in the U.S. and excepting Obama’s slave-holding ancestors neither Obama or Harris have any connection to American slavery. Both were raised for a significant number of their formative years in foreign countries and in the U.S. in Honolulu and Berkeley/Palo Alto, CA rather than the American South or anywhere else with histories of Jim Crow laws. Harris should be as much a symbol of black oppression as Elizabeth Warren is of Native American oppression.

She'll probably say something stupid in Selma that sparks a race riot then travel to Europe and start WWIII.

Frankly, I'm surprised that Dementia Joe didn't do this instead of Heels Up. After all, he is the one who said he personally participated when the original March happened!!

I suppose she will do this as a representative of the party that imposed the segregation the protestors were protesting.

…Because the Vice President has deep, personal roots in the black slave tribulations of the 19th century plantation South, Jim Crow, and the African American struggle for freedom. Arriving via Brown’s Town, Jamaica; Madras, India;
Montreal and Oakland.

Reminds me what little has changed except now Democrats/left target White, Asian and really anyone who doesn't follow the left in their fascist/socialist plans for world control. Canada and Australia are leading the way.

And, @10, do not forget and always remember that Barack Obola, at a campaign event during the 2008 presidential campaign, said that his mother and father met at the Selma March of 1965.
Barack was born in 1961.
When his campaign was asked about that, the campaign staffer said, "What Barack meant was that his parents were involved in the civil rights movement."

Why doesn't she walk the southern border and celebrate Bloody Everyday in America since she and the Demented One opened it to tens of thousands of foreign criminals?

Selma is a city in Alabama, the name of the bridge is for a man whose last name was Pettus.
A bridge is a structure that goes over water. My boss like bridges because they are infrastructure and can be built back better.
Edmund Pettus was a black man, I am a black woman.
Whew, I need a break, that's a lot of typing for me, I had to sit in an upright position, LOLLOL!
