US President Barack Obama is due to take part in events celebrating the 50th anniversary of a landmark civil rights march in Selma, Alabama.
He will deliver a speech to mark "Bloody Sunday" in March 1965, when security forces attacked demonstrators.
His wife Michelle and about 100 members of Congress are also due to attend.
Afterwards Mr Obama and his wife Michelle will join marchers in a recreation of a walk on a bridge that was severely repressed.
Police beat and used tear gas on demonstrators at the foot of Edmund Pettus Bridge on 7 March, 1965.

Rev. Al will also be delivering a speech.
Momentous Times!
The start of the 2nd Race War in America.
I hope Boehner is there to add his tears.
One of the last mass attacks by the KKK and the democrat party thug army. Planned, led, and executed by democrat politicians.
It might be useful for them to contemplate that instead of the mythology.
Is that his school picture?
He’ll quote Lincoln, MLK....and make sure everyone knows that whitey is responsible for all the black problems of this world and that they kill and steal and rape and maime because they had to bring a gun to the knife fight. Whitey’s fault!!
Does anyone think he’ll mention that his “parents” met at that march like he did during his first campaign?
It will be yet another guilt trip for the libs and a “blame whitey” attack on white conservative Christians.
ahah Yep His Grade School Gradjimation Pitcure!!
Let the games begin!
Just logged on the net but it seems to be going crazy that no Republican leaders will be attending.
Barack Obama 3/4/2007.
He was just four plus years off.
Sort of like Hillary being named after Sir Edmund Hillary, except Hillary was six years when Sir Edmund climbed Mt. Everest.

1 - Began as movement
“Security Forces” = Democrats.
Someone tweeted that only 1 GOP will be in attendance. I wonder who it is?
Well I just “heard” Air Force One go over my house. I’m backed up to a hill so by the time I got outside I couldn’t see it. Turned on tv and he is circling Maxwell Air Force base in Montgomery which means the timing is right for what I heard (I’m only about 10 miles or so from Maxwell).
Don’t care about the occupant but it is pretty cool that it went over my house...lol
Unless you like to hang out with communists and racists, no one should go to Selma. It would be a nice day for a meteor strike.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy will be there along with a Republican delegation.

...Just 23 of them are current congressional Republicans...
The commencement of the Third World conquest of the West. They should celebrate we collapsed like a house of cards.
I wonder if the Kenyan ever learned anything about the civil right movement back in the days when he was smoking dope in “college”. I guess somebody told him to hold off on the golf this weekend because it just wouldn’t “look” right to the shmucks.
