Remembering Bloody Sunday (Rest in Power, John Lewis)

Uninvited Media Presents: The Play-In Podcast with Atiqa Mohammad and Jerry Jones

Sup Party Crashers -

In this episode of the 'Uninvited' we are reflecting on the events of March 7, 1965 -- the day that John Lewis and several hundred other leaders dared to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to get from Selma to Montgomery in the name of securing voting rights for Black people in the state of Alabama. Not only are we reflecting upon the past but taking inventory of where we are today and projecting onto the future what be at stake if we do not heed Lewis' call to get into "good trouble...necessary trouble."

Also in the episode, Jerry breaks down the role of strategy and tactics have played in the civil rights movement as well as digs into the efforts in statehouses across the country to suppress the vote and undermine the basic tenets of democracy.

While not nearly as snarky and lighthearted as he typically is, we think this episode may be one of the most important to listen to. We hope you'll take the ride with us.

Keep being good to yourselves and each other.
