Selma Remembers 61st Bloody Sunday
Busloads From Minnesota and Chicago Head To Selma To Commemorate 61st Anniversary
SELMA, AL - Busloads of people from Minnesota and Chicago left Rainbow PUSH Headquarters in Chicago Thursday night March 5, 2026, bound for Selma, Alabama to March in the 61st commemoration of Bloody Sunday on Edmund Pettus Bridge. Members of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) came to Chicago from Minnesota, to continue the alliance of solidarity established when Chicagoans came to Minnesota to march in protest against ICE abuses of the immigrant communities. The symbolic march in Selma marked that historic day on Sunday, March 7, 1965, when more than 600 peaceful protest marchers, led by the then young activist John Lewis, attempted to cross the bridge to get to the State Capital of Montgomery to lobby for legislation enforcing African Americans' right to vote. The unarmed marchers were beaten with billy clubs and and tear gassed by Alabama State Troopers on orders of the then Governor of Alabama, George Wallace. The day became known as "Bloody Sunday." Each year this event is commemorated by a symbolic walk across the bridge, led by Civil Rights leaders. This year was the first time the commemorative walk was held without Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. among those leading the way. His youngest son, Yusef Jackson, President and CEO of Rainbow PUSH was there to walk in his place. Photo by Valerie Goodloe, Coverup Photos. See JUSTICE/LAW
