Biden Marches across Edmund Pettus Bridge

President Joe Biden is in Alabama to pay tribute to the heroes of “Bloody Sunday” in Selma. He joined thousands for the annual commemoration Sunday of the seminal moment in the civil rights movement that led to passage of landmark voting rights legislation nearly 60 years ago.

In his speech, Biden made the case for stricter gun control and expanded voting rights.Biden's visit to Selma also is an opportunity to speak directly to the current generation of activists.Many feel dejected because Biden has been unable to make good on a campaign pledge to bolster voting rights and they're eager to see his administration keep the issue in the spotlight.
