President Biden will travel to Alabama for the commemoration of 'Blood Sunday,' the day in 1965 civil rights marchers were attacked by lawmen. But this year, residents are still reeling from January's tornadoes.
Though the tornado left behind a kind of damage that will live with Selma forever, Criswell also says that the process of scarring can be an opportunity.
The church sits right in the center of the devastation and Wilson says she's thankful for this position right now. This weekend's commemoration is an essential part of how the community will move forward, particularly the day's main event: the Bridge Crossing Jubilee.Former Alabama state Sen. Henry"Hank" Sanders and his wife, Faya, started the event nearly 30 years ago.
