- Description:
- This video features footage from the SCLC/W.O.M.E.N. Civil Rights Heritage Tour held on March 7, 2004. The recording opens with Evelyn G. Lowery narrating the history of Viola Liuzzo to tour attendees on the bus. The tour stops at the Viola Liuzzo memorial monument at which a litany service is held. The tour then proceeds to drive through Montgomery, Alabama and then to Selma, Alabama to a rally at Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church. Reverend Jesse Jackson addresses the crowd. Footage then shows tour participants marching through the streets of Selma and gathering on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where Fred Shuttlesworth delivers a prayer. The group then marches across the bridge and gathers in the Civil Rights Memorial Park to deliver a litany service for Hosea Williams and to unveil a historical marker for John Lewis. Evelyn G. Lowery, John Lewis and Rose Sanders (now known as Faya Ora Rose Toure) speak at the unveiling.
