Thousands Join Sharpton on March to Montgomery

[cyberpj]

This is a big year for the voting rights issue and I think The Rev is really raising awareness and picking up a lot more people than usual for this walk. Anyone got any picutures? Hard to find much info on it.

Let's not let Limbaugh be THE ONLY NEWS we care about, m'kay?

Thousands Join Sharpton on March to Montgomery
Date: Monday, March 05, 2012, 6:35 am

An estimated 3,000 to 4,000 people stepped off Sunday in this year’s recreation of the annual Selma-to-Montgomery commemoration.

Led by the Rev. Al Sharpton, with civil rights leaders including, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King III, the marchers walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, carrying signs protesting Alabama's immigration law and voter identification laws.

This year's march resumes Monday along U.S. 80. Walkers are expected to average about 10 miles a day and scheduled to arrive in Montgomery for a rally at the state house on Friday.

Events will be held daily along the way, culminating with a March 9 rally at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. once served.
