2025 Selma Remembrance Event

The events on the Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama on "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965, were pivotal in the Civil Rights movement and in our nation’shistory, galvanizing public opinion and mobilizing Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act. Join us to commemorate the 60th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday".

We will gather at St. Raphael's Parish at 103 Walker St, Manchester at 1pm. The walk will begin at 1:15 and will head to the Granite Street Bridge, cross the bridge and head back to the church for food, music, community and program.

Our keynote speaker will be Jason Green, Deputy Director of ACLU-NH. With nearly two decades of human resources experience, Jason has extensive experience in building diverse teams, creating a culture of belonging, and implementing new organizational systems. He served on the board of the ACLU of Arizona, founded an organization centering human rights (UGIMA–United Gay Informed Men of African American Descent), and was the principal organizer for the Arizona Black AIDS Task Force.
