On March 7,extremely long hair sex video 1965 — 56 years ago — the late John Lewis led one of the most pivotal demonstrations in American Civil Rights history. Now, in 2021, political leaders and social justice advocates are remembering that day as they continue the fight against racial inequality and work to end voter suppression.
"Fifty-six years after Bloody Sunday, our march is not yet over," tweeted former President Barack Obama Sunday morning. "There are more steps to be taken, more bridges to be crossed."
On that March day in 1965, Lewis and more than 600 marchers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge along Route 80 in Selma, Alabama.

News coverage of the attack, which showed the severity of injuries incurred by Lewis, whose skull was fractured; Robinson, who was beaten unconscious; and others, outraged the nation and propelled the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
