“If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be working so hard to take it away,” Sewell said. “We are not going back. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever... We will march, we will fight, we will organize, and we will vote until victory is won.”

Protest is brewing again in Selma. In the wake of Callais, and the overt gerrymandering and dilution of the Black vote that the Supreme Court now says is legal, protestors marched today. (credit: Joyce Vance, Civil Discourse)

Era ama de casa en Detroit y madre de cinco hijos.
No era una figura pública, ni buscaba serlo.
Pero en marzo de 1965 decidió hacer algo que cambiaría su vida para siempre.Después de ver por televisión las imágenes de la marcha de Selma a Montgomery y la brutalidad policial contra manifestantes pacíficos en el llamado “Domingo Sangriento”, sintió que no podía quedarse al margen.
Su marido, Jim Liuzzo, intentó disuadirla.
Era peligroso.
Tenía hijos.
Pero ella ya había tomado una decisión.Cogió su coche, un Oldsmobile verde de 1963, y viajó hasta Alabama.
Allí se unió de forma voluntaria a tareas de apoyo logístico para los activistas del movimiento por los derechos civiles.
Básicamente, hacía de transporte: llevaba personas, recogía voluntarios, ayudaba en lo que hiciera falta.
Sin cargos, sin pancartas, sin protagonismo.La noche del 25 de marzo de 1965, conducía por la carretera US-80 entre Selma y Montgomery junto a Leroy Moton, un joven activista de 19 años.
Estaban trasladando personas tras las marchas.No era la primera vez que hacían ese recorrido.
Pero esa noche alguien los siguió.
Un grupo del Ku Klux Klan, entre ellos Gary Thomas Rowe —que en realidad era informante del FBI—, los localizó en la carretera.
Cuando vieron a una mujer blanca conduciendo a un hombre negro, decidieron atacarlos.Se acercaron al coche, igualaron velocidad y abrieron fuego.
Una de las balas alcanzó a Viola en la cabeza.
Murió casi al instante.
El coche perdió el control y se salió de la carretera.Leroy Moton fingió estar muerto.
Cubierto de sangre, escuchó cómo los atacantes se acercaban para comprobar si habían terminado el trabajo.
Cuando se marcharon, logró sobrevivir.La noticia fue un shock nacional.
El presidente Lyndon B. Johnson ordenó arrestos rápidos y utilizó el caso como ejemplo del clima de violencia en el sur.
Sin embargo, el escándalo creció aún más cuando se supo que uno de los atacantes era informante del FBI, lo que abrió una crisis interna en el propio organismo.En los juicios estatales, los acusados fueron absueltos por jurados blancos.
Más tarde, en tribunales federales, algunos fueron condenados por violar derechos civiles, una figura legal que permitió reabrir el caso.Después de su muerte, su figura fue objeto de controversia injusta: se intentó insinuar que tenía motivaciones personales o políticas extremas, algo que su familia siempre negó y que no tenía base sólida en los hechos.
Con el tiempo, su nombre fue rehabilitado como el de una civil que actuó por convicción moral.Su historia también tuvo impacto político.
La indignación pública tras su asesinato ayudó a acelerar el clima que llevó a la aprobación de la Ley de Derecho al Voto de 1965, firmada meses después.Hoy hay memoriales en su honor, especialmente en Alabama, donde ocurrió el asesinato.
Su nombre aparece junto al de otras víctimas del movimiento por los derechos civiles.Leroy Moton, el joven que sobrevivió aquella noche, llegó a reunirse años después con la familia de Viola.
Siempre mantuvo la misma idea: ella le salvó la vida.Viola Liuzzo no era una líder famosa ni una activista de carrera.
Era una mujer común que tomó una decisión extraordinaria.Y eso es lo que hace que su historia siga incomodando y a la vez importando tanto.

March 22, 1965 - 3,200 civil rights demonstrators, led by the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and under protection of a federalized National Guard, began a third attempt at a week-long march from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol at Montgomery in support of voting rights for black Americans.
A week before, the march had been violently stopped before leaving Selma. People from all over the country arrived to support the effort for enfranchisement of African Americans in the South whose right to vote had been systematically denied.

Say what now?🤔What tf is going on in #Selma? 🤔 I do notice that some ppl want to use the #civilrights movement to keep from being at the bottom in the U.S. A lot of immigrants arrive in the U.S. with more money, on avg, than most Black Americans regardless of how they got it. But any dismissiveness will not be tolerated. The #immigration laws changed to allow for more immigrants right after America was forced to treat Black ppl as full citizens.🤔

“Bloody Sunday,” one of the most violent marches of the Civil Rights Movement took place 61 years ago in Selma, Ala. It was sparked by the killing of farmer and protester Jimmie Lee Jackson. @TheRoot looks back at what happened that day and what the march fought for:

"The many dangers LaFayette faced included an assassination attempt on the same night Medgar Evers was murdered in Mississippi, in what the FBI said was a conspiracy to kill civil rights workers. LaFayette was beaten outside his home before his assailant pointed a gun at him..."
"LaFayette grew up in Tampa, Florida, where he recalled trying to board a trolley with his grandmother when he was 7 years old. Black passengers had to pay at the front, then walk to the back to climb on. But the conductor began to pull away before they could board, and his grandmother fell. He was too little to help.
"He was beaten in Montgomery, Alabama, and arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, becoming one of more than 300 Freedom Riders sent to Parchman Prison...
"Several of King’s marches were attacked by white mobs..."
