Civil Rights Trip

Edmund Pettus Bridge

We walked across the bridge, but I took this picture as we were driving across.  It was moving to think that in 1965 people were risking their lives as they walked across this bridge.  The Alabama River underneath it is beautiful.  It's hard to believe that so many people of all ages were beaten and brutalized when they tried to walk across it.
