M.L.K. Jr. and Coretta Scott King march Stump Stump Stump across the bridge in Alabama 

They gathered at Brown AME Church to march to Selma for the Segregation Laws


The black people had to take the literacy tests and had to pay poll taxes

On October 5, 1956 the president passed the law, and the president was then Lydon B. Johnson

All their arms connect like a light and lose things of  chains 


The other people that marched:

Richie Jean Jackson, 

John Lewis, 

Viola Liuzzo, 

and 

Malcom X

 

Jim Crow Laws

Separate drinking fountains

Separate bathrooms

Separate waiting rooms

Separate bus seats

Separate schools

Separate restaurants


They heard the Church bombing in Birmingham 

on 9/15/63 

BOOM 

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM


Bloody Sunday was not a light thing it was a heavy and dark time

They march to get their own freedom and their own voting rights as black people

The Church bombing in Birmingham on 9/15/63 it was not a good thing


M.L.K. Jr. and Coretta Scott King both agreed and lightly explained it to them all

March is Light
