"Thousands of marchers marked the 46th anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" voting rights confrontation in Selma.
Activists staged the annual commemoration of the historic demonstration by walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge over the Alabama River on Sunday afternoon. Participants included U.S. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, who was injured in the melee in 1965, as well as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Law enforcement officers attacked civil rights demonstrators marching toward Montgomery across the bridge on March 7, 1965. The movement only grew, and the Selma-to-Montgomery march was held later in response.
The march is credited with helping build momentum for passage of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965."
The term 'reform' has been as of a very large and open tent in the current language of politics. All Things Reform is an aggregation of most government reform groups in the USA. We follow their action alerts, newsletters, databases and blog posts; our political calendar covers their events and awards presented throughout the year.
To encapsulate the definition of 'reform' in the political sense, we follow a technique of our teachers and professors by breaking up 'reform' into a defining term for each of the word's letters:
Ready Ethically For Orderly Reconstruction Matters
'Reform' has been used to define political movements, techniques, attitudes and parties for hundreds of years. All Things Reform refers to today's movement of government reform issues as represented by electoral, campaign finance, ethical and fiscal watchdogs and public interest groups. May 'reform' carry on its activist, powerful message of 'ready ethically for orderly reconstruction matters' for a better government, from the local to the federal level.
