What piece of legislation banned race-based restrictions on voting?]]> 2023-03-19 19:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bartlean1/rlzv40ynv7r0o191/wish/2522441635 Watch the video about Selma and "Bloody Sunday" (you don't need sound for it). bartlean1 https://padlet.com/bartlean1/rlzv40ynv7r0o191/wish/2522447175 People call the violent attacks that the protestors were met with as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge "Bloody Sunday."
