Vice President Harris commemorates the 57th anniversary of 'Bloody Sunday'

Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Alabama on Sunday as the nation marks a defining moment in the voting rights battle, a trip that comes as congressional efforts to restore the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act have faltered.

Harris is traveling to Selma, Alabama to commemorate the 57th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” the day in 1965 when white state troopers attacked Black voting rights marchers attempting to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The nation’s first female vice president — as well as the first African American and Indian American in the role— will speak at the site often referred to as hallowed ground in the fight for voting right for minority citizens.
