Five Democratic presidential candidates locked arms with marchers during a procession across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday as they commemorated the 55th anniversary of the “Bloody Sunday” civil-rights protest.
Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar participated in the re-enactment of the crossing of the Alabama River on March 7, 1965, a milestone of the civil-rights movement when white police officers beat black protesters trying to march from Selma to Montgomery.
