SELMA, Ala. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Alabama on Sunday as the nation marks a defining moment in the fight for the right to vote, a trip that comes as congressional efforts to restore the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act have faltered.
Harris is traveling to Selma, Alabama to commemorate the 57th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” the day in 1965 when white state troopers attacked Black voting rights marchers attempting to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Harris will visit with civil rights leaders before speaking at the foot of the bridge. The bridge, named for a Confederate general and reputed Ku Klux Klan leader, has become an enduring symbol of the civil rights movement.
Harris will also take part in the annual event’s symbolic march across the bridge.
Several other members of President Joe Biden’s administration will also attend the event, including Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan.

Do they mean to suggest that the 1965 Voting Rights Act was nullified by the Supreme Court, or that Congress voided it?
Is this true?
So she’s African-American today... How convenient.
Good time to bring up white supremacy and race in this country? yea any time is a good time especially when you are thinking about the presidency and how little you have in your basket and empty head to get you there
The Big Lie: The Two Major American Political Parties Switched Sides on Race
She gotta keep whoring for the Grievance Industry.
“...yet Jim Crow laws maintained segregation and disenfranchised black Americans.”
There was a large turnout of black voters in the 1964 gubernatorial election is Louisiana.
Jim Crow laws were a Democrat party initiative.
History has been blatantly revised and concretized into fiction.
Hey, John Lewis wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, either.

I got a million of ‘em!
As Brandon’s “Border Czar”, will Obamala proceed from Selma directly to the US/Mexico border to review the situation there?
I will have to ask the Magic 8-Ball for an answer. It’s more reliable than the Associated Press.
This is so old and tired.
Reverse psychology isn’t going to work even with 95 percent of them.
And what’s the other point? Republicans want to put them on a plantation, since they “switched views?’
It was a gradual change in both parties with the interference of the federal government and demographics since the war.
Instead go to Chicago to mark ‘BLOODY WEEKEND’ where a democrat administration presides over multiple murders of blacks by blacks.
But they can blame Whitey for Selma. But can’t blame Whiteys for weekend slaughter.
Last I heard, Kamasutra was being dispatched across the Big Pond to bring order & peace to the Ukraine-Russia ‘war’?!
Maybe they will pull that old racist bridge over to the ground that’ll show everybody. Destroying property in their own neighborhood well that’s a given.
I now find stories like this to be simply amusing. The race hustlers attempt to rip a scab off a scar.
So, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan dissented.
Now I can see what the problem is....
The Democrats and their forefathers have been on the wrong side of race relations for not that far from 500 years. For all that time they kept Blacks
down for their benefit. They still do today.
Who was responsible for Bloody Sunday? None other…. So nice the fake
sister will scoot on in on the action to pretend her party has always backed the
Blacks. Well,… into a corner? Yes.
Now the franchise on racism was stagnating. It was time to pump in some
New blood. By golly, it was White blood. Now Democrats could go on
graduating Black children that couldn’t read or do math, and con them
into thinking every White Republican was a systemic racist.
It was a grand plan. It was so good, that it didn’t matter that White
Leftists would be grouped in. After all k-12 and graduate schools would be teaching them to hate their parents and even themselves.
Everyone hates everyone else.
Democrats: Hate is job one. Their job is done.
