Vice President Kamala Harris and Attorney General Merrick Garland joined thousands of people in Selma, Alabama, to commemorate the 59th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday attacks on civil rights marchers. Harris spoke at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where voting rights activists were brutally beaten back in 1965, highlighting the ongoing attacks on fundamental freedoms, including the right to vote, in America today. She criticized attempts to restrict voting and emphasized the importance of answering with a vote to ensure a country of freedom, liberty, and justice. Garland also addressed parishioners at a Selma church service, warning that recent court decisions and state legislation have endangered voting rights in the nation. Both Harris and Garland stressed the importance of continuing the fight for justice and fundamental freedoms that are under attack. The commemoration in Selma included a march across the bridge, hymns and anthems of the Civil Rights Movement, and calls for unity and action to protect voting rights. The events served as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for equality and justice, and the ongoing work needed to secure those rights for all Americans.
