Somewhere in this crowd of people blocking the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama on Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965 were my father, my mother, my brother and myself.
Yes, we were breaking local laws.
And many of us got hurt for doing it.
But I feel absolutely no sense of guilt or remorse or shame for doing it.
As a patriotic American and a Christian, 14 years old - I could do nothing else.
If I had to today at age 65, as a patriotic American and a Christian, I would do it again and feel absolutely no sense of guilt or remorse or shame for doing it.
