Day 2 of National Park Week Spotlight

Today, we're honoring the profound legacy of the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail. On this historic path, courage echoed louder than footsteps, as thousands marched for civil rights. 

The Edmund Pettus Bridge stands as a symbol of resilience. On Bloody Sunday, brave souls faced brutality for the right to vote. Their unwavering spirit ignited a movement that reshaped our nation's history. 

Reverend Richard Boone's unwavering dedication to justice echoes through time. His widow, Mary Boone, continues his legacy, sharing his story of hope and perseverance. Together, they inspire us to stand up for what's right.
