Let us not forget the suffering and setback that our brothers and sisters are experiencing during the aftermath of Hurricane Zeta.

Join us Saturday, October 24, 2020 as we commemorate the life and legacy of the late Congressman John Lewis with a Caravan and Last Words Reading. Participants will assemble at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, AL. 

The caravan will depart at 1 PM. U.S. Representative of Alabama, Terri Sewell, will deliver remarks on the bridge and the caravan will resume to the Alabama State Capitol where Hon. Lewis's last words will be read beginning promptly at 3 PM. Participants may join us at both locations.
