Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted an article yesterday about the 65th anniversary of the march in Selma, Alabama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reminds us:<\/p>\n

On this day in 1965, state police under the command of the Democrat<\/a> Governor, George Wallace<\/a>, attacked African-Americans<\/a> who were demonstrating for voting rights in Selma, Alabama. The rampaging Democrats used billy clubs and tear gas and dogs in their \u201cBloody Sunday\u201d<\/a> assault.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Republican-appointed federal judge, Frank Johnson, soon ruled in favor of the demonstrators, enabling them to complete their march two weeks later.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Daily Caller<\/a> reported yesterday:<\/p>\n

A civil rights leader refused to march across the historic bridge in Selma during the 50th anniversary celebration Saturday because former President George W. Bush<\/a> was also marching.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diane Nash<\/a>, described as a lieutenant to Martin Luther King Jr.<\/a>, said she did not wish to march across the bridge in Alabama<\/a> because she said Bush represented violence \u2014 something she claimed was at odds with the Selma legacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

History has been rewritten to erase the role the political parties played in the civil rights movement–the Southern Democrats opposed civil rights laws and the northern Republicans supported them. It is a shame Ms. Nash decided not to march instead of taking a stand for unity.<\/p>\n
