New York, NY (February 2022)- On Sunday, March 6th at 10 a.m. (CST) Rev. Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network, will deliver a keynote sermon in Selma, Alabama to honor the 57th anniversary of the historic Selma to Montgomery marches, which produced the Voting Rights Act 1965. Selma garnered national attention after a march led by John Lewis and Hosea Williams in response to the killing of Jimmie Lee Jackson ended in violence at the hands of the state troopers- earning the title “Bloody Sunday.” Two weeks later, Dr Martin Luther King Jr. led thousands of nonviolent demonstrators from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama for a rally on the capitol steps. Brown Chapel, where Dr. King and civil rights leaders were headquartered is under renovation and Rev. Al Sharpton’s sermon will take place at a temporary location.
