      This town, which sacrificed so much in the quest for African American voting rights has been economically marginalized ever since it elected its first Black officials. #Selma54 #SelmaJubilee

        The Selma-Montgomery interpretive center is the most modern building on Selma's main street. #Selma54 #SelmaJubilee

            Meanwhile, the drug war (assisted by mass unemployment) has taken back the right to vote from many of Selma's residents. #Selma54 #SelmaJubilee

              In short, any visit to Selma that comes out of love for freedom and African American struggle is necessarily a bittersweet one. #SelmaJubilee #Selma54

                To only celebrate in Selma is to look past the local reality, and the continued traumas of Black America. #Selma54 #SelmaJubilee
