The commemoration of Bloody Sunday in Selma will look largely different this year. Sunday, March 7 marks the 56th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the day peaceful protesters were brutally attacked and beaten by Alabama state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965 while marching for their right to vote.
Events surrounding the commemoration, which normally take place the first weekend of March, will be mostly digital due to efforts to stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The weekend’s largest event, the Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee, will be completely digital this year.
