Actress and Pensacola native Tara Ochs, who was one of the stars of the Academy Award-nominated film "Selma", has written a blog post describing her experiences at the 50th anniversary remembrance of the historic " Bloody Sunday" civil rights march this past weekend.
Friday afternoon when we parked on the far side of the Edmund Pettus Bridge and walked our bicycles over the bridge, we had already made friends. A retired Marine/preacher and his wife from a small town in Mississippi didn't have any idea where to go. We shared what little information we had, an address for a church and the time of a rally later that evening. Someone else may tell you that your website wasn't helpful enough, but rather than spend time scrolling through webpages, my nose buried in my cellphone, I got to hear the story of this couple's journey to greet history. I got all the information I needed.
