Ways to participate in the Selma commemoration

The Marching in the Arc of Justice Conference is sold-out. However, here are other ways for you to participate in this historic event. 

Join UUs in Selma on Sunday March 8
Plan your own visit to Selma and then join UUs and others for the historic Bridge Crossing. We'll be meeting at Ronnie Sharpe Memorial Park on Voeglin Ave. between Greene and Lawrence Streets. It's about four blocks from Brown Chapel, where the march originates. Plan to gather between 1:30 and 2:00 on March 8. Wear your Standing on the Side of Love attire and bring your congregational banner.

Participate in the official 50th Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee

The 50th Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee has a number of events planned in the city of Selma. These events will offer a powerful cultural immersion experience for all.  

Plan Selma Sunday in your Congregation
Witness with thousands of others by symbolically “crossing the bridge” for justice on Selma Sunday in your congregation. Hold Selma Sunday in your congregation. Find resources on www.uua.org. 

About The Selma to Montgomery March
The Selma-to-Montgomery March for voting rights ended three weeks--and three events--that represented the political and emotional peak of the modern civil rights movement. On "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965, some 600 civil rights marchers headed east out of Selma on U.S. Route 80. They got only as far as the Edmund Pettus Bridge six blocks away, where state and local lawmen attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas and drove them back into Selma (more...)
