Sixty years after Bloody Sunday, civil rights leaders in Selma continue fight
Briefly

The anniversary of the Selma march prompts reflection on how Americans should confront present-day threats to civil rights and democracy under current governance. Activists, recalling John Lewis's legacy, express concern over insufficient activism against perceived tyranny. Political leaders like Congresswoman Nikema Williams urge for a robust response to protect minority rights, highlighting the necessity for collective action akin to that witnessed during Lewis's time. The call is clear: ordinary citizens must engage in activism to combat the erosion of democratic principles.
We have a tyrant that's running the federal government... We don't see the people that are actually standing up like what happened here.
We've got to make sure that we're not normalizing this moment and stepping up and being unafraid.
