The Echoes of Bloody Sunday

07 Mar, 24

On March 7, 1965, a day that history would forever remember as Bloody Sunday, the Edmund Pettus Bridge became a battleground for the civil rights movement. Peaceful demonstrators, armed only with the conviction of their beliefs, set forth to march for their fundamental right to vote. They were met with brutal, unprovoked violence that underscored a harsh reality: the journey toward justice is fraught with adversity, demanding not just passive hope but active engagement. In Harris County, we are committed to confronting these injustices head-on, inspired by the same spirit that fueled the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
