点评:Such a heartwrenching yet heartwarming memorial experience! The bridge is well preserved and so worth the visit to honor our Ancestors and all those who so courageously went through Bloody Sunday! We were able to park free right next to the bridge as we drove across to enter. That was very convenient and a pleasant surprise. We were greeted by a gentleman who had seemed to be the official.greeter! He was actually there selling t-shirts which we gladly brought to support the cause he represented. We wore our new t-shirts (John Lewis Good Trouble tshirts) which made it feel even more personal. My heart was heavy, tears fell, and I was so humbled to walk the bridge where so much blood was shed for the right of Blacks/African Americans to vote! This is history that everyone should experience and feel firsthand. The bridge was not long at all but I can only imagine that it felt like many miles as those beloved souks walked across it on Bloody Sunday. I love how the name of the bridge is easy to see and it's easy to get very good pictures on the bridge. There are a few tables and a nice little overlook to the waterfront, which is a good spot to reflect. We sat there for awhile and talked with the gentleman who shared some good history and was very warm, approachable, professional, friendly and helpful sharing info. on the area and provided good tips. He shared some history from his personal perspective that added to the experience. After we walked across the bridge and arrived at the other side, it was a wonderful surprise to be greeted by an older gentleman who was very passionately sharing via his microphone setup about the Civil Rights, Bloody Sunday, Black experience! I think he was there just because he wanted to be there but we appreciated how he represented Selma and the history that he shared with us. There were several very nice mounuments/historical sculptures that were a wonderful add to the bridge surrounding area. We liked the park entrance with the caption overhead that was there with wooden benches leading to the trail in the woods. We loved the mural on the bldg. nearby as well. Overall, the E.P. Bridge and surrounding area felt like sacred ground! It was very convenient to have the Voting Rights Museum so close to the bridge in walking distance! So worth the visit to show honor, humility and thanks for the many sacrifices. We were also very proud of the courage and live it took for those who walked across that bridge especially on Bloody Sunday! Oh, we walked to the St. James hotel near the bridge which has its own Selma history story. The host was very nice and allowed us to use their very nice, clean bathroom. It is a lovely looking gem and I was surprised that it is now a Hilton Hotel. We were thankful that our visit to the bridge allowed us to experience firsthand the feeling of sacrifice, courage, and to.put our feet where such brave people walked!
