On March 7, 1965 on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Al, violence was perpetrated against 500 Civil Rights activists attempting to march to Montgomery. Due to the fact that this historic landmark was originally named for the Grand Dragon of the KKK, who was also a US Senator, we propose the bridge's name be change to the John Lewis Freedom Memorial Bridge.
