Thaddeus In Selma!
A recap of the 50th anniversary march in Selma
A Big Thank You!
As you may know, On Sunday, March 8th, I walked across the Edmond Pettus Bridge to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the march from Selma to Montgomery. The experience was eye-opening, inspirational, and sacred. Thousands of people from all over the world gathered to recommit themselves to the fight for civil rights. As I walked across that bridge where dozens risked their lives, I could not help but think about the valor we have inherited as an American people to continue to struggle for fundamental rights, including the right to vote. I recognized the power of unity. Though we all come from different backgrounds, we can still fight for the same cause.
That said, I would like to thank you for helping me to experience history. Because of you, I was able to raise $1095 in only 16 days! I am inspired by your support and will continue to carry the responsibility of civil rights advocacy with me for years to come. Once again, thank you!
Sincerely,
Thaddeus
