Diversity Ambassadors at the Southern Poverty Law Center

While walking along the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama I remember trying to imagine what was going through the minds of the 600 civil rights protestors who marched into the crowd of state and local police waiting for them at the end of the bridge in 1965.
