@MartyMuffins11 John Lewis (now a congressman in Georgia) is speaking at the beginning and President Johnson is speaking at the end.

I Am Upset..........This is the absolute worst combination of music to put to those symbolic pictures of HISTORY!!! BLOODY SUNDAY was day of much sorrow, pain, bruising, and beatings......I almost feel offended!!! Do you ppl really know what my ppl were getting beaten and bruised for?

[PsychoticPrplFlower]

@APMusic4Life sorry if it offended you, but yes I do actually know what they were marching for that day, and it wasn't just YOUR people it was ALL people. "If my brother or sister isn't free then I'm not free so I'm fighting for my own freedom" I know and am good friend with many people who participated in the march that day and they're very grateful for this video and the awareness it raises. The song and video were created as a form of activism to educate & raise awareness.

Thank you for this excellent video calling attention to this. Perhaps just as importantly, we need to remind people of the desperate lives of African Americans in Alabama's 7th Congressional District. I live here, and I know the poverty. As a white person, I can say the racism, while still endemic, is better, but the poverty is still getting worse. It seems as if Montgomery and Washington both would prefer to forget about us.

I live in Selma,and I'm very glad that you posted this video,there are still some people in Selma that are living in the 60's and it makes me so angry! I just want to thank you again

i am against all repression and injustice to any human, race, ethnicity, I do child abuse against CPS, DCF, Welfare and let say racist are alive and thriving. But our history is that we must remind the HILL r Corporations who is WE THE PEOPLE, What was done the my brother and sister in history is without words. And to me Dr. King was angel. As He knew the Out come. Put do not think anyone goes out with an agenda and crosses of what will happen. Protesting and a gift of surprise. R,I,P,
