This next set of pictures were all taken in Selma Alabama. I was there on a Sunday so of course it was going to be quiet with church and then football but it bothered me that a place that represents such a historic moment in the civil rights movement is clearly a bit economically depressed and while there were momuments near the bridge I almost got the idea that people wanted to forget it all ever happened. Which in my opinion really represents the mindset of many white southerners ( not all ) “Oh we had that nasty civil rights movement almost as bad as the War of Northern Agression, thank God that unpleasantess is over….”
Downtown…..
I just loved this plaque inidcating that Lafayette was “entertained” in Selma. Obvious I want to know exactly what kind of entertainment was provided.
