Washington, D.C., (WOWO): U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued the following statement in regards to the 50th anniversary of the attack on civil rights marchers in Selma, Alabama:
“Today, we remember a group of courageous Americans who defiantly marched in pursuit of their civil rights. The actions of Selma 50 years ago must remain a continual reminder that racial discrimination should have no role in our future. We must never forget the lessons of the Civil Rights Movement. Instead we must use them to stand together and stay united as one nation in our quest to create a more perfect union.”
