Students in Selma hope to rename Edmund Pettus Bridge. Pettus was a leader of Alabama's KKK. Please sign: https://www.change.org/selma Edmund Pettus was not just a United States Senator from Alabama. He was also the Grand Dragon of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan and a Confederate General who fought to protect slavery. Fifty years ago marches over this bridge led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and today the bridge is a symbol of nonviolent victory for change and civil rights. A landmark that holds so much significance for the civil rights movement shouldn’t also be a symbol of hate. Please sign their petition: https://www.change.org/selma Then tweet your support: http://bit.ly/19SBjPd Thank you.
