President Johnson and Congress responded to Bloody Sunday by enacting the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which finally made real the promise of Constitutional amendments enfranchising Black Americans a century earlier. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

In 1965 on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, hundreds protesting for their right to vote – led by John Lewis – were brutally attacked by Alabama state troopers. This day became known as Bloody Sunday, a horrific day of violence in the push for voting rights. https://t.co/s9vWQUs3GK — PolitiTweet.org

Each March, we remember those who fought for voting rights from Selma to Montgomery—especially as we face ongoing threats to ballot access. Today, the Biden admin. took an important step to build upon this legacy & protect the right to vote. Next, Congress must act. #HR1 #VRAA — PolitiTweet.org
