Selma Bridge March

Inspired by the famous John Lewis’ Selma Walk to end voter suppression, students from Cape Henlopen High School and the Multifaith Youth Group are hosting a walk across the Indian River Inlet Bridge on March 7 from 3 – 4:30 pm, the same date as the Selma march. This non-partisan, youth-led walk across the Indian River Bridge will commemorate the anniversary of the 1965 Walk Across the Edmund Pettus Bridge led by John Lewes in Alabama, which ultimately led to the passage of the 1966 Voting Rights Act. All interested participants should click here to sign up. In addition, a virtual Town Hall is planned on March 9, 2021 from 7 – 8:30 pm for all those interested in participating in a discussion on John Lewis’ life and work.
