It's Been Almost 50 Years Since Selma (We Still Here)

Thousands of activists walked across the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge Sunday afternoon to retrace the steps of peaceful protesters who were beaten, gassed and run over by horses by Alabama authorities in 1965.

The annual commemoration drew what could have been the largest attendance since the event began two decades ago. Local law enforcement officials are already planning for the 50th anniversary next March — something expected to be much larger.
