Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee
Every year the Bridge Crossing Jubilee, Inc., hosts the commemoration of this historic event and the struggle for the right to vote, by gathering at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in a festival of music, art, and historical remembrance.
Several years ago this yearly event was dubbed “The Annual Pilgrimage to Selma”. Tens of thousands of freedom-loving people flock to Selma the first weekend of every March to hear personal stories from surviving freedom fighters from the movement and walk hand in hand with history makers who were willing to lay down their lives for the right to have a voice in the country they helped to build. For over a decade the heroes of the movement and a host of other civic, political, and national leaders have made the annual pilgrimage to Selma, AL to join us in this event.
For over a decade The Bridge Crossing Jubilee, Inc. has attracted noted individuals from all walks of life.
