I REALLY wish some enterprising person could transform Selma into a go-to destination, the history there should be celebrated but it is such a depressing area. We went a few year ago and walked across the bridge and it made me sad more isn't being done to truly honor and memorialize what transpired there.
It's tough to get support for a memorial when the state/local government can't say they were proud in what happened there. It's going to take some private donations by Alabama firms to build a memorial in Selma. A good start would be for someone to write a strong letter to large Alabama papers suggesting a memorial for the bridge & John Lewis. But selma the area needs jobs, such as those that have left for other countries over the past 40 years.

they functioned as preservatives. Just like Keith Richards.
