Bridge Crossing Jubilee
Commemorating the 60th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” the Selma-to-Montgomery March, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965
Affectionately called “The Jubilee,” the non-profit dedicated to preserving the spirit of the struggle to vote, was founded in Selma, Alabama. Their goal is to inspire people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds to respect and appreciate the power of their vote.
Every year on the first weekend in March, the Bridge Crossing Jubilee commemorates both the bloody confrontation at the Pettus Bridge and the march from Selma to Montgomery that followed. Events include a parade, a Miss Jubilee Pageant, a mock trial, and a commemorative march to the bridge. Every five years, celebrants continue all the way to Montgomery.
