From the beach we headed north to Selma, arriving late on the night of the 8th.  We spent the next day with the most incredible tour guide, Jo Anne Bland of the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute.  Mrs. Bland had us laughing and learning from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.  A participant in the Selma civil rights movement, Mrs. Bland made the history come alive as she took us through the museum and the town.  To cap off a remarkable day, we took a symbolic march across the Edmund Pettus bridge, where civil rights protestors were attacked by police on Bloody Sunday in 1965.
