Carter, 1985 - 20th Anniversary of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery March)</div> <bR> <div> The Edmund Pettus Bridge was just another local bridge in the State of Alabama until a group of citizens were denied access, arrested and jailed when attempting to cross it. History has a way of making the ordinary into the extraordinary when one event changes the course of human relationships. When Rosa Park, a local activist and NAACP volunteer, refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white citizen, history began to record events that would change a nation. </div> <bR> <div> To walk across that bridge on March 7, 1965 took courage and it was as important as any battle or victory ever fought on U. S. soil to preserve democracy. Additional but unsuccessful attempts to cross this bridge in Selma, Alabama, led by Martin Luther King, Jr. on March 9th and 17th  were eventually validated and protected by the federal government forces. Once again history recorded the fragile state of democracy in the nation. </div> <bR> <div> We still have many bridges to cross in perfecting this fragile democracy. Many citizens do not know of the "historical perspective" or the struggles that have been waged to march forward. </div> <bR> <div> There are repeated occurrences of unsung heroines like "Rosa Parks," who have crossed the bridges of agism, classism, gender violence, racism, sexism and religious intolerance -- The Journal is a place to record and publish important revolutionary and transforming events that preserve and perfect the thin fabric of democracy which holds our nation's history together. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Les Carter</B></div> <div> <B>Practitioner & Associate</B></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Nonviolence.network(s) </B></FONT><B>  </B> </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>   <SCRIPT>  </SCRIPT>  <form method="POST" action="http://mindit.netmind.com/mindit.shtml" target="_top"> <input type="hidden" name="SOURCE" value="510"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><tr><td align="center"> <font face="arial,helvetica" size="-1"><b>Click to receive email <br>when this page is updated</b></font></td> </tr><tr><td align="center"> <input type="hidden" name="DOC_TITLE" value="lhcarter_site"> <input type="image" src="http://mindit.netmind.com/images/mindit510.gif" border="0"></td> </tr><tr><td align="center"> <font face="arial,helvetica" size="-2">•<b> Powered by <a href="http://www.netmind.com/" target="_top">NetMind</a> </b>•</font> </td></tr></table></form>    <a href="http://www.nonviolence.net/" target="_blank"><img src="HTMLobj-352/Video2.gif" height="99" width="100"></a>  </div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>   <a href="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/specs/guest.html" target="_top"><img border="0" ismap src="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/img/guest/gb_white.gif"></a><br> <a href="http://guestworld.tripod.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=lhcarter&i=2&a=view" target="_top"><font face="arial,helv,helvetica,sans serif" size="-1">View My Guestbook</font></a><br> <a href="http://guestworld.tripod.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=lhcarter&i=2&a=sign" target="_top"><font face="arial,helv,helvetica,sans serif" size="-1">Sign My Guestbook</font></a><br>   </div> <div> Sign-in and freely share comments and questions. </div> <div> <B>Come back to this page often for updates and let us know how we can serve you!</B></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
