Vice President Kamala Harris and Attorney General Merrick Garland are among those marking the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. The events commemorate law enforcement officers’ March 7, 1965, attack against demonstrators on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Harris will lead the annual march across the bridge and then address a rally. Garland will tell parishioners at a church service that decisions by the Supreme Court and other courts have weakened the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was passed in the wake of Bloody Sunday. The march and Garland’s speech are among dozens of events held during the Selma Crossing Jubilee, which began Thursday and ends Sunday.
