The 59th Annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee on Sunday will feature Vice President Kamala Harris as one of the top speakers.
Congresswoman Terri Sewell confirmed on Tuesday that Harris will come to Selma to speak to the thousands gathered for the Jubilee march that is held to recognize protests over the Edmund Pettus Bridge for equal voting rights in 1965.
“At a time when our fundamental freedoms have come under renewed threat, we are grateful to have a President and Vice President who have remained steadfast in their commitment to the cause for which the Foot Soldiers marched, fought, and even died," said Sewell in a press release.
"I am looking forward to welcoming Vice President Harris back to my hometown for a day of remembrance, reflection, and rededication.”
Harris came to Selma in 2018 and again in 2022 for the same event. President Biden spoke at last year's Jubilee.
