To mark today’s 45th anniversary of the civil right march in Selma, Alabama—known as "Bloody Sunday"—President Obama released the following statement: On this day, 45 years ago, hundreds of brave men and women gathered in the small town of Selma, Alabama to announce to the world that they, too, sang America. As they marched from Selma to Montgomery, fully aware of the danger that lay ahead, these heroes let their feet speak in a way that their voices alone could not.
