College Students On 50th Anniversary Pilgrimage To Selma: 'The Story Isn't Dead -- Their Story Is Alive'

As the nation marks the 50th anniversary of the historic civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery, a group of Valparaiso University students say Selma isn't just history -- it's also a blueprint.

Roughly 50 students from the school, located in northwest Indiana an hour outside Chicago, are participating in a trip to Selma this weekend to visit historic sites, meet with activists who took part in the marches and learn how to apply the lessons from half a century ago to the ongoing struggle for equality today.

"A lot of these people [who were directly involved] are still alive, fighting for the same cause they were 50 years ago," 21-year-old VU junior Jacki Fernandez told The Huffington Post on Friday. "The story isn’t dead -- their story is alive."

"Meeting people who marched reminded me these people are still alive and they’re still struggling for these things," said 19-year-old sophomore Micia Dismuke. "The struggle isn’t over. Even people my age who can’t register to vote need to fight for that, to make sure we can continue to do that -- otherwise their struggle will be in vain."

African-American Civil Rights Movement (1954–68)

The African-American Civil Rights Movement or 1960s Civil Rights Movement encompasses social movements in the United States whose goals were to end racial segregation and discrimination against black Americans and to secure legal recognition and federal protection of the citizenship rights enumerated in the Constitution and federal law. This article covers the phase of the movement between 1954 and 1968, particularly in the South.

The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance. Between 1955 and 1968, acts of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience produced crisis situations and productive dialogues between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to these situations that highlighted the inequities faced by African Americans. Forms of protest and/or civil disobedience included boycotts such as the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–56) in Alabama; "sit-ins" such as the influential Greensboro sit-ins (1960) in North Carolina; marches, such as the Selma to Montgomery marches (1965) in Alabama; and a wide range of other nonviolent activities.

Selma was the culmination that got Obama born.

No...he was born FOUR YEARS before Selma, and his parents were10,000 miles away in Africa, and Indonesia, as was Barry!... You got bitch slapped for this in another thread, want to make it a HAT TRICK, and start another useless Selma thread?

What other thread?

Didn't see much coverage on Fox

Maybe they had important things to report? Look, not everybody is consumed by white guilt like you are. Get over it and stop looking like a whiny fool

What could be more significant than Selma?

Yes, to the propaganda crowd, this is significant! To RACIAL HARMONY, it's just another NAIL in the road to that end!

Selma was far from a symbol of racial harmony. It held up a mirror to our faces and let us see that we were not the nation we thought we were

That's HISTORY...WELL KNOWN, what THIS IS TODAY is PROPAGANDA, and putting another NAIL in the Road To Harmony between the races! And about Obuma's LIE?????

Where events such as today help promote racial harmony is that we are able to look back at such a horrible event and realize what pains we were inflicting on black society
Most of us have moved beyond Selma.......some, who I do not need to note, obviously have not

‘They’ve lost an opportunity to show the American people that they care,’ one black lawmaker says.

Scores of U.S. lawmakers are converging on tiny Selma, Alabama, for a large commemoration of a civil rights anniversary. But their ranks don’t include a single member of House Republican leadership — a point that isn’t lost on congressional black leaders.

None of the top leaders — House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy or Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was once thought likely to attend to atone for reports that he once spoke before a white supremacist group — will be in Selma for the three-day event that commemorates the 1965 march and the violence that protesters faced at the hands of white police officers. A number of rank-and-file Republicans have been aggressively lobbying their colleagues to attend, and several black lawmakers concurred.

“It is very disappointing that not a single Republican leader sees the value in participating in this 50th commemoration of the signing of the Voting Rights Act. I had hoped that some of the leadership would attend, but apparently none of them will,” said Congressional Black Caucus Chairman G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina. “The Republicans always talk about trying to change their brand and be more appealing to minority folks and be in touch with the interests of African-Americans. This is very disappointing.”

Former CBC Chair Marsha Fudge (D-Ohio) agreed.

“Not only do they have an opportunity to participate in something that is historic in this country, but certainly they’ve lost an opportunity to show the American people that they care,” she said. “Their loss.”​

Obama: Selma Got Me Born

Senator Obama might be considered guilty of engaging in little pandering here by trying to imply a direct line between the 1965 Selma, Alabama, marches and his personal background (since he was speaking in Selma at the time). However, the tenor of his speech was how the overall growth and progress of the Civil Rights movement affected the outlook of blacks (including his family), both in the U.S. and abroad. That movement did not start with the 1965 marches in Selma; it was a process that began and grew across the years, including among its landmark events the 1955-56 bus boycott in Montgomery (which occurred several years before Barack Obama was born, and before his father left Africa for the U.S.) and the 1963 anti-segregation protests in Birmingham — all of which (along with the Selma marches) took place in Alabama, and all of which were referenced by Senator Obama in his speech that day:

Yet something happened back here in Selma, Alabama. Something happened in Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called, "Ripples of hope all around the world." Something happened when a bunch of women decided they were going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry, looking after somebody else's children. When men who had PhD's decided that's enough and we're going to stand up for our dignity. That sent a shout across oceans so that my grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son, who grew up herding goats in a small village in Africa could suddenly set his sights a little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had a chance.

What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation.​

What we can be sure of is that if Barack Obamas father had been in Selma in 1965, he would have been lynched

Was ANYONE LYNCHED at SELMA in 1965.... Put up, or declare yourself a fucking, lying asshole.....

They don't call it "Bloody Sunday" for nothing.

Yes, about 80 people were beaten bloody by racist Southern Democrat police! Not a soul was killed
