Hate Crime in Selma, AL

We are in a motel in Selma, AL. In less than 6 hours we're getting back on the bus - bound for Atlanta. Today we visited a school established for the Black community that was severely vandalized in a brutal and malicious way. I'll have photos and video maybe later. We also heard from a State Senator on the daily blatant ways that racism affects people every day. It's very direct here and obviously they are making great strides here as they are continuing to threaten the white power base and elicit drastic responses. Young Black children have to go to schools named in honor of KKK founders. Imagine Jewish children going to Hitler Elementary School.

Bukas ang Atlanta!
Atlanta tomorrow!
