March underway from Selma to DC: Journey for Justice

BBC story here

From the article:

Civil rights campaigners in the US have begun a 40-day march to highlight what they say is a fresh attack on equal rights for African Americans.

They set out from Selma, Alabama - the starting point 50 years ago for a march in support of watershed legislation enabling black people to vote.

Cross to another site.

Then cross to AF Am. If you don't want to I will. I don't have much time these days, let me know.

This needs to be heard.

Thanks
