Today so far, for our first destination we went to Selma, AL, to meet with Ms. Joanne Bland and be guided by her, in Selma. I greatly enjoyed her and the experience. She shared with us her story of when she was walking in the marching line on Bloody Sunday and how when policemen started getting hostile during the march she was knocked unconscious and when she came to she was in a car and her sister was holding her head and was bleeding herself, because she was brutally beaten.
Also while in Selma, we walked in the same fashion as negroes did when they were marching for their rights. And after we finished walking across the bridge we went to eat lunch at the historical Tabernacle Baptist Church, Where we all had a Q&A with Kirk Carrington. So far today had been a good opportunity day.
