gold3nglare4년 이상Bloody Sunday was horrible. The people in Selma were marching for the right to vote when the white officers stopped them. White bystanders whooped and cheered when the cops massacered the black folks who were exercising their first amendment. The right to peaceful assembly. Please do not judge people based on the color of their skin or which country they hail from. We are all immigrants, including white people. They came from Europe for a better life just like modern day immigrants. After Bloody Sunday came Turnaround Tuesday. The police let the blacks pass but instead the black chose to turn around.- collin32154년 이상I like to read the story too
