Saturday, President Obama, the First Family, and former President George W. Bush joined thousands of Americans at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., to honor the sacrifice and bravery of the men and women who bled there, on that very pavement exactly 50 years ago. Many of those original “foot soldiers” joined him yesterday, including Congressman John Lewis, who helped to organize the first march over this bridge in 1965, who endured a tragic beating on that “Bloody Sunday,” and who yesterday strode arm in arm with the President of the United States.
