Live from Selma, AL: Three Days of Education, Analysis, Determination, and Inspiration
On the 60th Anniversary of the 1965 nation-defining “Bloody Sunday” march for voting rights, we know definitively that we are in an existential fight for American democracy. Thousands from across the world will gather in Selma, Alabama, on the first weekend in March to commemorate the courage and determination of the 600 Americans who were beaten 60 years ago on the Edmund Pettus Bridge by Alabama police.
Across three days this March -- the 7th, 8th, and 9th -- Common Power will convene a robust collection of historians, political analysts, journalists, civil rights heroes, contemporary democracy organizers, and everyday active citizens to dive into how we apply the lessons earned, wisdom gained, commitments made, and community connection to steel us for the road ahead.
