(Selma) proves the efficacy of nonviolent action and civic engagement, especially when government seems unresponsive. With poignant grace, it demonstrates that Occupy, inconvenient protests and die-ins that disturb our daily routine reflect a legacy of resistance that led many to struggle and die for justice, not centuries ago, but in our lifetimes. It reminds us that the day could be approaching when that price will be required again. - Congressman #JohnLewis #Selma #BlackHistory #CivilRights #BlackLivesMatter #CivilDisobediance #Race #Racism #Injustice
