Selma, Alabama’s Edmund Pettus Bridge “demonstration” was the latest by the local Complete Count Committee to influence where $300 billion a year in federal money will be invested over the next 10 years.
Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge “demonstration” was the latest by the Alabama city’s Complete Count Committee to influence where $300 billion a year in federal money will be invested annually over the next 10 years. My report in the South Florida Times updates my earlier blog post. In addition here are links to:
- Donnie Coffee’s large photo of the folks on the bridge. (Couldn’t get it to load here. Bear with me folks, I’m still learning this stuff.)
- Selma’s sites
- John King’s sobering “Pain in Black Belt” report on CNN
- The Montgomery Adviser preview (Note: Dr. Darryl Lee is misidentified as William Scott.)
- The Selma Times preview
- Census Bureau
