John Lewis (D-GA), Terri Sewell (D-AL), and Martha Roby (R-AL), unveiled the House historian’s new website to preserve testimonies from Members of Congress who contributed to the historic civil rights movement. Here’s more on the project, courtesy of Leader Cantor : Leader Cantor said, “Forty-eight years ago, John Lewis courageously led hundreds of marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. Faced with incredible adversity, these men and women led the fight for freedom and equality for all. Today, we honor their sacrifices and reflect on ways in which together we can confront current challenges. The ongoing effort by the House to capture these important moments in the civil rights movement will preserve this transformative period in American history for generations to come.” Representative Lewis said, “Today, we pay tribute to 600 peaceful, non-violent protesters who had the courage to stand up for human dignity. Just forty-eight years ago, these brave participants in the civil rights movement had to face state-sponsored brutality just to simply register and vote. Because of their sacrifice, we live in a more fair, more just society today. We must never, ever forget that many people struggled and died trying to register and vote in this country, and that our quest to build a true democracy in America is not done. That is why we must not take the right for vote to granted, and we must remain committed to push back the tide of injustice wherever it wells up in our society.” Representative Sewell said, “As a Selma native, I know that the journey I now take as Alabama’s first black Congresswoman was made possible by the courage of the freedom fighters, like Rep. John Lewis, who fought for the right to vote on the Edmund Pettus Bridge forty-eight years ago. It is important that we honor their legacy by preserving the collective stories and experiences of Members of Congress who were instrumental in the struggle for civil rights. I look forward to the collection of these oral histories which will enrich and expand the historic record of this transformative period in American history.” Representative Roby said, “I’m proud to join Leader Cantor, Congressman Lewis and Congresswoman Sewell in honoring the legacy of those who endured unthinkable brutality to fight injustice on that bridge 48 years ago. This project uses special documents, images and oral history to tell the Selma to Montgomery story from a unique perspective. By preserving this important history we can help future generations, including my children, appreciate the stories of sacrifice from the civil rights struggle and understand the lessons that were learned.” Click here to visit, “ The House and Selma: Bridging History and Memory .” Read more about government news here: House Members Unveil New Site Preserving Historic Testimonies of the Civil Rights Movement Online Game For Kids Bible Islands is a safe and protected online virtual world fora kids.
