Where in the U.S. is the Edmund Pettus Bridge located?

I saw a wonderful interview with Hon. John Lewis, long-time member of Congress for Georgia, and an organizer of the Pettus Bridge voter rights demonstration. David Letterman walked the bridge with Congressman Lewis and talked about the progress through sacrifice that was made that day, and days that followed. The actions, moral resolve and sacrifice of John Lewis and the others campaigning for voter rights and other civil rights make me proud to be an American, and provide me inspiration for the present and hope for our future.

I took my daughter to visit the Pettus Bridge, then drove to Montgomery so she could get an idea of how far they walked.

DaveGundërsen, Well written statement. Great work.

DaveGundërsen, I saw that as well. What a great man, and a wonderful piece of journalism! ❤

DaveGundërsen, John Lewis is a great man.

Birdiemom, we should never forget the history or try to change the past..so that we can change the future for our children!

I was there 3 days before. Talked to some . I was 20 . Always supported the civil rights movement since.....

Birdiemom, you have got to be kidding! Delete a huge part of American history? Like the holocaust of WWII, it happened, and should never be forgotten!

Rest In Peace, John Lewis, you definitely made an impact on the Civil Rights Movement, your family, and those people who are still here. Crossing that bridge, that date made a lasting impression on many people.

Beautiful tribute this year when Lewis as ill as he was garnered national focus to the cause.
