Buttigieg draws link between transportation and history of civil rights at Edmund Pettus Bridge
Fox News
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Sunday highlighted what he said is the historic link between transportation and civil rights during a speech at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, to mark the 57th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday."
On March 7, 1965, approximately 600 civil rights marchers headed east from Selma on U.S. Route 80, but only as far as the Edmund Pettus Bridge when state and local lawmen attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas, driving them back. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a symbolic march to the bridge two days later.
Buttigieg went on to also describe the slave ships that carried slaves to the New World, the "ferries and wagons of the Underground Railroad," the train in Plessy v. Ferguson and the bus Rosa Parks rode on as examples of transportation playing a key role in the history of civil rights in the U.S.
