helped lead a march across a bridge at the town of selma alabama which was brutally suppressed by the police louis sustained a broken skull. and . national outrage at the violence led to equal voting rights for blacks within months 50 years later it was revisited the site with the country's 1st black president barack obama. we were beaten. so no less was left plenty right here in this group which 17 of us were hospitalized that day but we never became bitter or muster we kept believing that the truth we stood firm would have the final say. in his 17

terms as a congressman lewis often acted as the moral conscience of the country the vote is an opportunity to be on the right thumb at a district. you know the chance to cast a vote by the people are the people and for the people and icon of the civil rights movement lewis remains a hero to a black community experiencing discrimination to this day. but his compassion was not limited to one cause all of us in 2018 he fought against the trump administration's executive order some parading immigrant children from their parents on the border. some of these young children may never ever see a mother again that's not right it's not fair and it's not just this mural in atlanta georgia is a place where people come to express their grief and pay their respects in life as

a time to be joyous and celebrate critique the work of him and of course the icons that he served with and admired that you can jr and rosa parks. of course we've heard a little about the historic significance of bridge that you're standing next to tell us about its connection to. play again. this was of course the site of the infamous bloody sunday protest in march much by lewis and other protesters gathered they were prompted by the death of one of their fellow activists jimmy lee jackson galvanized to march from selma to montgomery to protest for voting rights and of course on that fateful day they assembled here at the foot of where not far from where i'm standing marched by to a very narrow sidewalk to the top of the bridge and looks down and of course what they saw were alabama state troopers were given orders to stop them at all costs necessary even with violence and of course that's what ensued when the marchers

went up back down and turned around the troopers and of course lewis leading that group of 2 by 2 marchers was the one who was hit the hardest in many ways for the plan that the president and and and of course there are many. who were beaten that day and the much blood on this bridge itself that's why the name. thank you so much. thank you michael. highlighting some other stories making news around the world at this hour protesters have clashed with police at racism demonstrations in the u.s. one person was killed in texas after shots were fired at a black lives matter march demonstrators set fire to a courthouse and assaulted police in california president trump has threatened to send more federal agents to quell the unrest. more than $600.00 firefighters are
