Summary
| Description |
English: This morning, my family and I had the honor of joining Congressman John Lewis, my Democratic and Republican colleagues, and civil rights champions on the Edmund Pettus Bridge to mark the 55th anniversary of Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday occurred on March 7, 1965, when nearly 600 civil rights activists were brutally attacked by law enforcement while peacefully marching from Selma to Montgomery on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The series of marches led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. We must continue to protect and advance the legacy of the brave women and men who risked their lives and marched from Selma to Montgomery to demand full and equal participation in our democracy. As we walk in their steps 55 years later, we recommit to continuing to fight for voting rights. We in the House proudly passed #HR4 the Voting Rights Advancement Act, to restore necessary voting protections and provide clear and consistent voting laws across the country. I call on our colleagues in the Senate to act immediately on #HR4 to ensure that all Americans can fully participate in our political process.` |
