Lowndes County will once again take its place along the historic road from Selma to Montgomery as the Lowndes County Area Chamber of Commerce prepares to host its annual Voter Rights Jubilee Celebration on Saturday, Feb. 28.

The event is designed as both a remembrance and a retracing so participants can follow the same path taken by the foot soldiers of 1965, whose courage forced the nation to confront the denial of voting rights to Black Americans.

Todd and Cindy talk about it in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
